As usual, capitalism in decay will rely on the bourgeois state to rescue it from the horrendous inefficiency of markets under a privately dominated economy. This is the correct stance, moreso than the tarriff nonsense, but the US Empire is an imperialist bourgeois dictatorship and as such nationalization needs to be analyzed within that context. The US Empire isn’t a socialist state like the PRC, it isn’t owned and run by the workers.
Broken clocks n what not
Is this what they thought we meant by nationalizing industries?
Not a chance in hell anything will ever be nationalized under the current parties. They basically exist purely to avoid economic nationalization, socialism, transparency, etc. The only type of nationalism they would ever allow is the boyscout patriotism kind, and purely for the purposes of starting a civil war to install another capitalist regime. They have been doing it for hundreds of years probably longer but people never learn about this is school or university really. They learn about mationalism in the context of far right nationalism in Europe leading up to ww2. Its a very vague term, also a bad idea if taking literally, although the people should definitly “nationalize” the land and resources of their country for their own benifit, and not to corporations. You could also use collectivizing in place of this, or liquidating the ruling class.
State capitalism with American characteristics.
