Collaboration between the bourgeoisie is just a normal consequence of capitalism.
Whichever propaganda guy came up with the campaign to conflate conspiracy theories and just regular capitalism probably got a medal of freedom.
It’s impossible to talk to anyone about capital without them labelling you as a conspiracy theorist immediately these days.
this is recuperation at work. liberal cognitive dissonance produces this all on its own.
“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public” - Adam Smith
The problem with a lot of theories/theorists is that they operate from the premise that all this secret evil nefarious shit MUST be in service to a deep long held dark secret at the core of America that no one but a few of the true elite may know, and which above all MUST be concealed from the public (IE they’re reptilian entities, or aliens, or templars, or whathaveyous). The reality much more mundane and disappointing.
What’s the secret purpose of the CIA? To promote American and business interests here and abroad.

I always like to start my scientific materialist analysis with things like “monsters” and “evil”. I also love to act like any suggestion that people with aligning class interests collaborate on any way is just crypto-nazism instead of just how a social creature like homo sapiens acts in all normal circumstances.
Like I’m sure that trillion dollar tax cut was a big surprise for the bourgeois citizenry and had no idea that was coming and the almost entirely bourgeois congress just wanted to do something nice for them. Saying that there’s any 👻💀☠️😈COLLABORATION😈☠️💀👻 there just means you’re basically Reinhard Heydrich. I’m really fucking smart, like so fucking smart guys, you wouldn’t believe my IQ score if I told you, I’m that smart.
