It is thievery, but it emerges from a belief that some are entitled and some are not. Thus the "economic royalism" phrase (FDR)

I think it's more the fact that democracy being warped into economic fascism by left..

Agree with the economic thievery ..just fuckery in plain sight..

Yep,it's anachronistic+obscures the true dynamics-by design-i.e., the deep-state destruction of the natural world for profit

Perfect! I have never read it described quite like that but that is PERFECT "democracy v. economic royalism."

I like to remind people that the conservatives of the Revolutionary era were Tory loyalists, not patriots.

But when you support economic democracy over economic royalism, that is a definitive left position: it is socialism personified

Nothing, but if one believes in economic democracy, this means in large part the dis-empowerment of those who have disproportionate wealth

Thank you for your truth Marianne. Gratitude abounds.
