[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5187810, member: 63706"] Which makes coming to an understanding about it difficult. Now they're trying to call it stakeholder capitalism. None of it matters because, whatever anyone calls it, or whatever definition they use when using the term socialism, it only obscures the problem. The real problem being the centralization of power vs the decentralization. People organize themselves into hierarchies naturally. It is a function of natural circumstances. There must exist a balance between centralizing decision making enough to be effective for the survival of the group, and not allowing that centralized decision making to be unaccountable to the group. That is at the core of the philosophy of the founding of the United States. One of the hurdles to holding power accountable is that power is good at convincing a large number of people that its actions are good and just, even when it is clear that what is happening is atrocious.
