Central banking and an unregulated out of control federal reserve with the non-stop printing press doesn’t help, either.


I agree that what we have is more akin to Corporatism, but it doesn't change the fact that the infinite growth in a finite world required by Capitalism is why we end up with Corporatism...you have to manipulate and rig it, or it will collapse.

Not enough actual growth to sustain the house of cards? Make paper growth...just fuckin print it and hand it out to your corporate masters.

The fact that it is abundantly clear that the only way to insure that the entire thing will implode is concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer, and that we have still decided to go that route, requires it.

Fish on...
