  1. Lol, I really doubt you understand what corporatism is. So many capitalists confuse it with corporocracy, it's basically a meme.

  2. We don't have corporatism. I'm pretty sure you're probably confusing it with corporocracy. The misuse is basically a meme by now

  3.  @declassified1  actually I didn't, because we still have capitalism. Calling at "corporatism" doesn't change the fact that corporations are owned by capitalist shareholders, doh

  4. Lol, capitalism incentivizes corruption to maximize profit and then philosophical capitalists cry out that 'that's not capitalism anymore'. As if they don't understand that it was capitalisms doing.

  7. He also spent a decade and a half living as an impoverished comic.... The amount of comedians that make it rich compared to the amount of comics that make $15 for a gig emulates the inequality of all round capitalism.

  8. This is legitimately moronic. We still have capitalist shareholders. Socialism is the full abolishment of private property, not "muh regulations". Capitalism and socialism don't exist on a spectrum of how much government intervention there is, and capitalism has never had completely free markets.

  9. Socialism doesn't mean government 🤦🏼

  10. Lol, capitalism incentivizes cronyism and you don't even know what corporatism is 🤦🏼 I'll tell you it doesn't mean when corporations take over the government, that is are properly called 'corporocracy'. "Corporatism is a collectivist political ideology which advocates the organization of society by corporate groups, such as agricultural, labour, military, business, scientific, or guild associations, on the basis of their common interests."

  12.  @Jordan-tq2jc  Socialism is not about "centralization". Marxist-Leninism uses centralization, but that's just one type of socialism. Socialism is workers control of the means of production, or basically economic democracy. There is no "one" socialism but notion is expressed in many forms, just like capitalism has many forms. There are democratic socialists, who usually want a smooth reformist push toward a democratic government and a democratic economy. Orwell, MLK jr, and Enistien were all notable democratic socialists, and they all where strongly opposed to authoritarianism. Noam Chomsky is an anarcho-syndicalist (like Dennis from Monty Python), which means he doesn't like the government and he wants trade unions to seize control of production. Marxist-Leninists see centralization and state authoritarianism as necessary to abolish private property. To summarize, socialism doesn't mean government centralization and calling FED actions "socialist" is fallacious. Personally, I've been interested in a grassroots movement called the Next System Project. They have devised a way to keep production local for key anchor institutions and contract service to cooperatives. They have helped multiple cities struggling with job loss due to factory closures in the US and UK. In addition to trade unions, collectives, public banks, credit unions, community land trusts, CSA's, and many other democratically controlled institutions can work together to create democratic networks outside the market, I think this can be a viable strategy to give people the autonomy over their work. I believe economic democracy is the only way people who work for the economy will have the economy work for them, their families, and the planet too.

  13. Where are all the workers controlling the means of production?

  14. Socialism doesn't mean government 🤦🏼 Socialism is social control of means of production. There are many non-government institutions that do this, like trade unions, collectives, public banks, credit unions, community land trusts, CSA's, and many other democratically controlled institutions.

  15. Money and debt are capital, bud 🤦🏼🤦🏼 There has never been a completely free market, even Adam Smith was for some government intervention.

  16. Yea, working for the 0.1%

  17. Probably because those "communist" countries are still stuck in their state-capitalist stage.

  18. Socialism is the workers control of the means of production.... It literally is predicated on workers working 😂🤣😂🤣

  19. That's still capitalism. Just because a car is rusted with a cracked windshield doesn't make it not a car.

  20. Community Land trusts and land value taxes are much better.

  21. "No true capitalism" Did the capitalist incentive to maximize profit for shareholders cause croniest corruption, welp that's not capitalism anymore. Aahahahahaahaha 😂🤣

  22. And it's also murder countless lives. "On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City burned, killing 146 workers. It is remembered as one of the most infamous incidents in American industrial history, as the deaths were largely preventable–most of the victims died as a result of neglected safety features and locked doors within the factory building. The tragedy brought widespread attention to the dangerous sweatshop conditions of factories, and led to the development of a series of laws and regulations that better protected the safety of workers." Then there are all the Central and South American coups the CIA ran to install dictators favorable to US capitalists....
