""Capitalist socialism — Haz's name for the actually-existing American economy: a planned economy whose planning is captured by financial monopolists.

> "We have a bloated financial sector, and I want to go farther than even China is right now — I want America's financial sector to be completely eliminated... The financial sector is a form of bourgeois, monopoly capitalist socialism. The financial sector right now is a form of selling indulgences of the planned economy. We live in a planned economy — but on Wall Street the financial monopolists coordinate with each other to get rich off of this financial planning, and rig the system to their benefit, at the expense of the American people."

The argument

The economy is planned — supply chains, monopolies, state coordination (We already live in socialism). Finance is the toll-booth on top of that planning: "selling indulgences." Hence the radical demand: not regulate finance but eliminate it — farther than China's mixed model — because finance isn't a sector of production but a parasite stratum on the already-socialized economy (Tendency of the rate of profit to fall).
