I mean that line of thought has been core to capitalism from the start though. The originators of capitalism argued that it needed strong governments to stop/prevent the negative aspects of capitalism (such as stopping collusion and monopolistic behavior). By it's nature and from the beginning one of capitalism's core requirements is that capitalism cannot function without a framework of rules and enforcement mechanisms that only a strong government can provide.



It needs to be a government that is not controlled by companies and billionaires.


Agreed. All of the original capitalist thinkers specified that very very clearly.
