[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1553364, member: 56035"] i really like this picture seen it many places before. im planning on posting a thread about the co-determinsm in giant corporations in germany to show that there are already more democratic forms of capitalism in highly developed countries around the world. i think it was chomsky who said that countries like america developed because their governments implemented protectionist policies while they were developing and i think it changed in usa around 1950 according to him. he also said the third world had free trade (or something) and didnt develop. the state is strange: ive heard chomsky say that it should be eliminated and that it considers its own citizens it's enemy, but while we have corporations chomsky (and hedges too) say the state may be the only countervailing force to even more runaway corporate power then we already have. yea my major point is workers should have way more control and democracy over their jobs. i obviously dont think the government should own everything, nor do i think everything should be privatized. i have a feeling thom hartmann is right about the natural state of capitalism concentrating wealth into the described pyramid above. richard wolff said that piketty's ground breaking book "capital in the 21st century" made the point that capitalism systematically concentrates wealth. sometimes i think thom hartmann over emphasizes the blame on reagan when really some of those policies began under carter. its too bad socialism has been so badly skewed by stalin, lenin, hitler, etc and gets a bad name because of it. same thing if someone has a gun to ur head telling u who to vote for and calls it "democracy". but o well, the tide is changing in america, i know this because of hte success of occupy, and the growth of richard wolffs radio program along with other socialists and socialist ideas gaining popularity.
