Billw, you and I are old enough to know the story, me lad.

 

In communism, the workers own the factories and the government owns both.

 

But in capitalism, the workers have the option to own the factories with stock investment, and the press owns the government.

 

That explains why we are seeing such a bitter dispute over Twitter, for the outcome of that culture war determines who owns the press and by extension who owns the government.  May the good guys win.
