>>12786562That's how they operate, on a slippery slope principle. First they wreck the economy with interventionist nonsense (such as forcing banks to issue subprime loans to people that don't qualify), then they roll out keynesianism "to save the economy" (creating massive money printing and debt bubbles), then when the debt crisis and inflation caused by keynesianism kicks in they will blame "capitalism" altogether.
It's what happened in Venezuela.
First they printed money, created massive inflation. Then they regulated prices to hide the inflation, created scarcity (surprise! store owners would rather close down than sell their goods at a loss), when stores closed down they accused them of speculators and nationalized them.
I'm not saying this will happen exactly in the West, but juding by Twitter there are plenty of uneducated leftist people in the West who would fall for this same slippery slope.
