Paul O'Conor: "We all know you [Mayor-Elect Johnson] have mobilized a progress-hungry, activist base who must lead the charge into the neighborhoods, but who honestly don’t have the chops to pull off transformation at the necessary scale. If they think they can do so without Chicago’s capitalists, they are wrong."
Call me crazy, but back in 2015, the partnership of big business and the state to effectuate major political change was called FASCISM. The merger of the corporate and state is FASCISM.
“…I believe you will need the pragmatic brainpower, unrivaled connections and deep pockets of Chicago’s corporations; and I believe that if you sincerely ask for their partnership, you shall have it…”
“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini, 1932.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Excellent.
How naive. Johnson and his entire Chicago Teachers Union hate capitalism, and they teach that hatred every day in schools.
Communism has failed as an economic system everywhere it’s been tried — no reason that it would work in a failed city like Chicago
Leftism is, a child-like mind.
