They now think they are pure and perfect in their capitalism. They deny that there is both good and bad in capitalism (they don't take resposibility for the financial crisis). Just like nazi followers who thought they were the only good and pure germans. The rich persecute both others previously persecuted, the poor, and persecute new groups (intellectual elite). Just like the Nazi followers persecuted the previously persecuted others (the jews) and the newly persecuted ( intelectual elites). And the GOP leadership attack these others with attacks on governance and unions and funding and support. The others react to these attacks and the GOP leaders get their followers to judge the other on their well ground anger as if the emotion happened in a vacuume and the GOP followers are. the victim of an unprovoked attack. The nazis did the same thing. And there the comparison ends. With what the Nazis set up in the 1930s. Obviously genocide has not occured. But when the CEOs act all upset that they and capitalism are not seen as purely good, it is fair to point out to them that because they think they are the good ones they should remember that the "good germans" in the 1930s were actually the worst germans ever seen. At the very least the GOP and their followers should be asked if capitalism is without fault at every turn. CEOs should be asked that as human beings are they special, or a mixture of strengths and wealnesses like everybody else.

(4,185 posts)I don't know anyone who says anything is (of human hands anyway)perfect.
Additionally, is it really a tenet of the Democratic Party to be anti-capitalism. I'm not ready to go that far either.
As to directly answering your question. Yes, call them out on as much bs as possible.

(118,778 posts)pure unfettered capitalism isn't without problems. That CEOs are not gods on earth. Nobody is. The opposite of what the GOP claims.
