Corporatism in action

[dblack]

By corporatism do you mean organizing society by corporate groups like labor or agriculture or are you referring to the influence business exerts on politics?

The former. This is why I posted a link to the definition.

Who do you blame for a company using its wealth to manipulate government, wealthy individuals or government?

Your silly meme doesn't understand corporatism.

Sorry, we are supposed to turn away from being a Capitalistic country? Or is this another case we can point to and note that we have not been one for a very long time?

That's just a myth. America was "socialist" from the day it was founded, at least by mythical anarchic definitions of "capitalism" which really just aren't worth addressing due to their dishonesty or ignorance.

No, I agree with you. I'm arguing this with those who claim we are a country that runs on capitalism. I agree we are not.

What distinguishes corporatism from fascism?

Corporatism - Wikipedia

"Italian Fascism involved a corporatist political system in which the economy was collectively managed by employers, workers and state officials by formal mechanisms at the national level.[36]

"Its supporters claimed that corporatism could better recognize or 'incorporate' every divergent interest into the state organically, unlike majority-rules democracy which they said could marginalize specific interests.

"This total consideration was the inspiration for their use of the term "totalitarian', described without coercion (which is connotated in the modern meaning) in the 1932 Doctrine of Fascism as thus:

"'When brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State.'"

As usual, I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Adding some words of your own might clarify your intent.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your riddle. Nor do I care. Do you have anything relevant to add to the conversation?
