    I do have to agree that you can view Animal Farm as a cautionary tale about Crony Capitalism, which is hard to distinguish from communism other than the absurd notion that the entities are actually privately owned (how can it be truly private when the success/failure depends on government largess and insider knowledge and not free-market forces?). Do you not see how some businesses (solar, financial, "green") are more "equal" than others?

    Granted, she's a bubble head, and she probably believes that that's how all capitalism functions, so you can't hardly blame her naivete.

    I have to agree with her on concentrated power in the hands of a few. She did not take the next logical step however. She should have began a new rant advocating for Individual Rights coupled with a government limited to a police force, a military force, and a system of courts as the antidote to tyranny. All tyranny.
