What is "capitalist" about requiring FDIC for a retail banking charter, then the same government creating the requirement (at gunpoint of licensing scheme) takes the money for that requirement, and creates a "insurance scheme."

Only it turns out that "insurance" is a fraud, as it is misrepresented. The premiums are advertised as being for backstopping up to 250k in the account, but it turns out this was a fraud and actually it's whatever arbitrary amount they choose all the way up to the biggest holder in the bank. And when they're finished, they'll assess a "special assessment" which totally isn't a tax, nevermind the licensees have no choice but to pay it.
