Capitalism versus Corporatism (And the Occupy Protests)

The difference between a true free market capitalism, and the current schema of American economy, which is corporatist (that is, dominated by large corporations which no longer experience the normal competition which drives capitalist societies.)

Ron Paul 2012.

BTW, are you going to do a video on "Boddahism" / "TheRealAmyLee"?

I saw the comment you left on her channel but she deleted it really fast unfortunately.

Could you believe what you were seeing? LOL

@elitet0kr LOL. Normally the less attention you give obvious trolls, the less they propagate.

Awaiting your approval on my video response......may I? It kinda takes the corporatism angle in another direction, in the form of a song. When you were talking about GE, it made me think "oh, yeah I should reply with a video".

It seems that you dont understand Corporatism much like many of the people in the OWS movement. It is not because corps "Are too profitable". Corps are the one writting and pushing for the regulations. Your "tempered capitalism" is pretty much opening the door for complete corporatism because it puts a profit motive behind regulation. If I own a large corp and I can pass a 1 million dollar cost environmental reg then all the smaller businesses go under. That is how corporatism comes to be.

Hell yeah botany, You said that nicely. Thanks

@Styxhexenhammer666 you should watch Zeitgeist Addendum. it's on Youtube and it's approximately 2 hours long. It's mainly about what the monetary system is, it's flaws, and a viable solution, in which it presents the Venus Project and the use of a resource based economy, which we currently don't have. I believe this to be the best solution, however, so long as we have a monetary system, i agree with you that balanced capitalism is the best solution and that corporatism is parasitical.

No place for the State in the free market capitalism.

@Styxhexenhammer666 Didn't know about this book, thanks for the suggestion. And very interesting politics vids btw

@Styxhexenhammer666 by the way, this argument you cited is crap because 1) corporations act like cartels (they will have similar policies to profit alltogether from a given situation) and 2) we still have a government (yet feeble) that will enforce minimal rights from the workers. Take out gvt, we're screwed: perfect ploutocracy.

@Styxhexenhammer666 '' Conservatives'' lol in America are definitely run by corporatists (romfl and they claimt they are ''true reprentatives'' of the people aka Tea Party) I dunno, that's almost enough to become very very misanthropic. Why can't these idiots understand that the profit of shareholders is directing their present and future, wow. Useful idiots
