This is why we must abolish Capitalism. Taxes will not, and cannot fix this.
This isn't capitalism, this is corporatism
Go ahead and define those terms
You'd have to be dense to think this is capitalism. The corporations are clearly communist
This isn't communism, this is clearly monarchism.
clearly we are cavemen in primative democracy
Actually we're just primordial bacteria in a puddle of mud, this proves that anarcho-capitalism is correct
No, this is actually existing capitalism. The utopian fantasies of capitalist theorists like Adam Smith and Keynes simply do not work or exist in reality.
In terms of Smith writing about his present conditions, I think it was accurate enough for mercantile society. The problem (besides his not-always-reasonable history) is that because he often failed to distinguish first principles from idiosyncracies, the logic of his observations shatters in any other context (e.g. global capitalism).
This isn't capitalism, this is corporatism
Which is capitalism
Corporatism is fascism and not "corporations misbehaving according to my ideals", which is just capitalism. I'm not making any statement about capitalism degenerating to fascism here.
Boo-Yah!
theres no such thing as corporatism, liberal
Death to America
they are the same thing.
Funny how capitalism seems to evolve into "corporatism" every time. Almost like there's a well-documented cycle, or something
embarrassing
I want to try taxing first. Maybe if we can just remake a bunch of Pre-Reagan SEC rules and raise the top earning brackets, add some tiers, that might help like it did after the Gilded Age and Great Recession.
Of course the only way to do any of that is to vote blue and the USA is kind of fucked as far as the political spectrum goes. Again, Reagan's fault for deregulating campaign finance.
