There is no such thing as “cronyism” it’s literally just capitalism.
You’ve realised it’s flaws and try to pass off that problem as something different, it’s not.
Cronyism can happen under any system. you just see what it's done to capitalism and say "See? this is capitalism"
Anyone who thinks communism has never been tried is making the exact same argument.
You’re really not making the same argument, because even China and the USSR didn’t call themselves communist.
