    They don’t understand that capitalism without regulation is a public risk, nor that infrastructure and services are deeply intertwined.

      No, they absolutely know those things. Capitalism without regulation is not a risk to them. Collapse of infrastructure and the frustration of the legitimate processes of government are 100% the plan. While some of them play idiots on TV, they know exactly what they are doing. They are just bad at it. They aren’t really attracting the best and the brightest to their cause.

      Every regular person needs to learn about negative externalities. I’m not even asking for people to learn more socialist principles which I wouldn’t mind; we’d be in much better shape if people just understood basic capitalist economic principles.
