Reply #55: Corporatisim has a range of ideology just like belief in any system [View All]

I don't use it as a negative any more than I would socialist. There is no effective range of thought from a fascist no matter where they started from ideologically. Corporatism though generally something that I'd like to steer clear of no matter what flavor is also something that shouldn't be looked as inherently evil but rather easily and almost quickly abused maybe akin to communism.

I think at it's roots that corporatism is simply the belief that corporations will tend to most effectively increase opportunity and wealth on a global basis. Some want them to run amok while others like I think Obama believe it is a fine balance that must be struck that allows these companies to spread and grow without going Godzilla on everyone and every society they come in contact with.

The offense comes strictly from assigning bad intent and unavoidable misuse to the idea that society be structured around the companies that move the resources. I think this is a misconception and an unwise approach but I understand that pool consists of corporatist and has for a long damn time. We should have no ethical concerns with working with the one's that display a common sense approach rather than the corporate fascists who not only wish to use these companies as the structural support but also to cede all control to them as well.
