How many ironies do you see in this clip? A right wing network that calls itself "public", sells ads and takes donations is accusing Moore of propaganda.

Next question. Why is he wasting his time with this?

@smoochym I'd go even further and say just special interest groups, lobbyists etc. as well however I only had 500 charatures. :)

It's not just the "big corporations" as you call them, Unions would fall straight into the definition you gave.

Easy with Capatalism if you sell something bad you lose money and go out of business or get legal actions taken against you (most small or mom and pop businesess are like this). Corporatism you get socialistic bail outs because even tho you screwed millions you should be saved. As for the war thing I am still in disbelief that we could not have sent a small group of special ops to kill just the terrorists that attacked (leaders, heads, etc.)us not a full blown military action.

Your dictionary definition conveniently doesn't seem to mention to what lengths those who control Capitalism will go to in order to make their money, who they destroy and exploit. My country and yours went to war to secure their Capitalist interests and if you are one of those who still thinks that war is about weapons of mass destruction and fighting for freedom; then go to your dictionary and look up the word gullible.

Corporatism : : the organization of a society into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and exercising control over persons and activities within their jurisdiction.

This is mostly what you live under as the big corps by votes with the lobbying power they pay for .

@curwoodm66 For you

Capitalism Webster dictionary Definition: : an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.

Or what you don't live under. Continued....
