The logical end of unfettered capitalism. But if controlled properly, it works. See many of our erstwhile allies. Capitalism isn't good or evil on it's own, no more than fire is or a pipe wrench. It's simply a tool. When well managed, fire keeps you warm, does work, and makes life better. Uncontrolled it will burn your house down. But I don't see anyone wanting to completely ditch fire as a useful tool. Some tried "totally not capitalism" several times in the 20th century with rather poor results. Capitalist ideas were embedded in human brain wiring millennia before it ever got a name. But so are many socialist ideas.

Human brains are so weird. We can be so foolishly binary sometimes, like above, when life is really analog, continuums, and finding the pragmatic best fit from a combination of many ideas.
