The type that transfers wealth from the 1% to the 99%.The type you were whining about in post #1977.
I want the economy to function for the benefit of a majority of its participants.Which, as always, in no way addresses or contradicts my post. You want everything subject to your sacred majority rule.
Fuck you and your phony questions. You know goddamned well which side, you're just playing more stupid agitprop games. You've turned out to be a real piece of shit troll.
If they (corporations) don't exist without state charter, how are they NOT on the "state power" side of a hypothetical wall between the state and the economy?They are not on the "state power" side of the wall.

Economic power is radically different than political power. I don't suppose you'll ever acknowledge that. And as long as you refuse to do that, I'll be unable to take you seriously.What's capital's conception of liberty?

"The contribution made by American capitalism to German war preparations before 1940 can only be described as phenomenal.
"It was certainly crucial to German military capabilities.
"For instance, in 1934 Germany produced domestically only 300,000 tons of natural petroleum products and less than 800,000 tons of synthetic gasoline; the balance was imported.
"Yet, ten years later in World War II, after transfer of the Standard Oil of New Jersey hydrogenation patents and technology to I. G. Farben (used to produce synthetic gasoline from coal), Germany produced about 6 1/2 million tons of oil — of which 85 percent (5 1/2 million tons) was synthetic oil using the Standard Oil hydrogenation process."

"This problem would not exist if the United States had a European-style parliamentary system that would enable a third party to obtain space on the ballots in all 50 states.
"If this were Europe, the new party of Bernie Sanders, AOC et al. would exceed 50 percent of the votes, leaving the Wall Street democrats with about the same 8 percent share that similar neoliberal democratic parties have in Europe (e.g., Germany’s hapless neoliberalized Social Democrats), that is, Klobocop territory as voters moved to the left.
"The 'voting Democrats,' the 99 Percent, would win a majority leaving the Old Neoliberal Democrats in the dust."

To hell with minorities. Majority rule for every. fucking. thing!I want the economy to function for the benefit of a majority of its participants.
Do you see a way of accomplishing that without majority rule?
