It looks to me like the most serious effort in California for a chunk of the Republican Party to break off & become a new party has a philosophy close to what some call "state capitalism." It matches well with the intellectual milieu of the state & the demands of its residents.

What exactly is state capitalism? I've never heard the expression before but if it means business controls or strongly influences government, that's a quality of Fascism.

I hesitate to use the term because the definition is elusive, but China is often cited as the prototype.

I think there's an element of "state-controlled capitalism" everywhere, including in US. Something like that allowed the US to go to the Moon, which we can't do now. (Of course, some would say that's an argument AGAINST state capitalism - are Moon missions a role of government?)

Some of her criticisms of The System are appealing across ideological lines - for example, the unpaid internships & the orientation propaganda seminars.
