    You really believe he has the power to do that? He's surrounded himself by beneficiaries of the current rules of the game.

    Meanwhile, Obama has appointed the CEOs of Boeing and Xerox to head up his export initiative council. These are people who, even if they wanted to, cannot (thanks to their shareholders) do anything but favor capital over labor. This man is no socialist.

    How someone can use corporatism as a proxy is far too subtle for your puerile intellect, see if your little liberals web site has a chart for you. You seem to like pictures more than words.

  5. Yup, trying to present stats and figures as charts for easier comprehension is the problem here but throwing around words like fascism, socialism or marxism when you don't even know what they mean is the gold standard of message board integrity.

    The distinction between communism and fascism is not relevent when all you want is other people's money.

    Corporatism is a trademark of fascism, but redistribution is communist. Modern 'third way' socialists at least recognized that communism sucks at production, so they thought they would just take the profits instead.

    It's really the best of both worlds for lefties, they can have private beat-down meetings with CEOs and still claim they are capitalists. Then they take all those evil guys' money- why buy the cow when all you want is the milk?

    well buttcheese, I showed you quite clearly how you can't even draw a simple chart properly, so you have no business reading words with more than 2 syllables.

    as if you know what anything means... good one

  8. Nice idea - throw a bunch of words around and hope that it all makes sense together.

    Some information - Fascism is considered far right on the conventional left-right political spectrum and is an opponent of liberalism, Marxism, and socialism. And Corporatism is a byproduct of capitalism.

  9. Yup, you showed me alrite - how numbers in a descending order is a leftist dishonest tactic.
