The Two Diverging Paths of Fascism

Between the banks and the corporate government contractors, by the end of the Civil war, corporations were pretty much in control of our government. From the civil war on, in our fascist arrangement (long before the term fascist even became part of the lexicon), corporations were controlling our government, and not the other way around.
And I can find nothing in our history to ever suggest that this arrangement changed since then. During FDRs tenure, we probably came as close as we ever have to some significant regulation of our corporations.

I like the approach of Dr. Richard Wolffe, but with a twist. I dont necessarily buy the argument yet that capitalism has run its course, but I do like his idea of co-ops. But what are co-ops really? For the most part they are non-profit corporations. Non-profit corporations, if they replaced for-profit corporations, could really prevent for-profit corporations from taking over governments and acquiring the kind of globalist power that makes nation states powerless to do anything about them. Non-profit corporations do a pretty good job of ensuring that the money that would go to shareholders, go instead to the employees and to making upgrades within the company. And they usually do better serving their customers and clients. Non-profit corporations could put an end to our fascist system of government.
Maybe it is time for an abolitionist movement of a different kind. The abolition of the for-profit corporation. And with it we could abolish bank notes as currency and replace them with bills of credit.

Absurdly necessary disclaimer:
Jackpine Radicals is not a RW source or Russian propaganda outlet, nor are its members racists or misogynists. If any of that were truly the case, the OP would be removed.
But go ahead and pile it on thick!

In fact it is on a list of Russian FAKE NEWS type sites.
Or sites that dont tell the truth.
What in the HELL is it doing HERE?

(4,035 posts)In reality, the shitstains at jpr are ever only to the left in causes that benefit themselves, which is not progressive nor liberal. They are misogynists, racists, and they use a plethora of rightwing sources and memes to attack Democratic leaders such as HRC, Senators Harris, Booker and rep. Lewis et. al. That makes them right-wing in my book, but if you want to claim them as part of your left, feel free to do so. Only, don't expect real progressives and liberals to join you.

(58,785 posts)it was out there in orbit. Some of us. They must be really jazzed to make a list.
The Russian influence is hardly news, of course. Their irrational hostility and the profound dishonesty required to maintain it makes them a super easy mark.
Thanks for the link. I'm headed over there.

The outcomes of serving strategically deceptive narratives to the American public are the same."

(27,820 posts)Any word yet on how Hillary miraculously overcame the many fatal diseases she was suffering from last summer? There were hundreds of JPR posts about it, complete with videos of how she couldn't walk in her full body-brace.
And how's that Pizzagate investigation coming along? Any criminal charges yet?
What about Seth Rich's murder by HRC - which Hillary masterminded despite her faltering health? Have the JPR sleuths figured that one out yet?
JPR is Freeperville, served with a side of Russian dressing.

(27,820 posts)... of "knowing" HRC was dying of multiple diseases - and insisted that we sane people were "too stupid" to recognize the obvious.
I wonder why they never respond when confronted with that?

(83,940 posts)Pizzagate had to be the funniest most ridiculous, hallucinogenic charge I ever read. I think some at JPR need to seek opioid treatment...STAT!
