Corporatism Isn't Capitalism, Nor Are Those Differences Even Close.

Corporatism isn't "Capitalism," it's Fascism.

The differences between Traditional Capitalism and Modern Corporatism may seem slight to the average ignorant American, but they are profoundly significant in every meaningful way! Capitalism is the process of Individual Freedom, acting within the lawful constraints of The Free Market, and dealing out punishment and/or reward based upon Personal Initiative. Whereas Corporatism is the process of Collectivized And Governmentally Chartered Business, acting without lawful consequence [or subjective liability] to Socially Manipulated Markets, and dealing out punishment and/or reward based upon purely Political Criteria.

Businesses cannot grow "Too Big To Fail" under Capitalism - where the size of every private company is quite naturally regulated by a man's [or certain group's] ability to raise his/her/their own necessary capitalization... where the Finite Lives of a company's private owners, are largely disruptive toward policies of negative social monopolization... and where the very real measures of legally quantifiable Criminal And Civil Liability, reinforce one's moral and ethical obligations toward overall society in general! This is the greatest verifiable strength of Traditional American Capitalism.

"Too Big To Fail" - Governmental and Corporate Conspiracy

What is truly behind the ever-increasing rise of our Modern Corporations? How did they get so big and tremendously complex? Are any of them, "Too Big To Fail," and if so, why are our leaders consolidating them even further? What does it all mean for our ongoing political future? And will National Sovereign-ties survive the inevitable monopolization of an entire planet's natural resources? These are all excellent questions, to consider....

For thousands of years, man has sought out numerous ways to unite the Earth under one political banner! He has tried: Imperial Conquest [through wars], Dynastic Control [through intermarriages], Religious Conquest [through dogmatic edicts], Financial Control [through leveraging great wealth], and Colonial Accumulation [through relocating domestic populations]... and every effort has failed - for various reasons - to accomplish this one true goal. As most political leaders are so fond of saying, "The End Justifies The Means..." and they all have one highly focused desire in each of their minds! Nor, do most of them, even care, who ultimately accomplishes it.

Plantation System, Company-Store, Or Modern Corporation: The Un-Ending Adaptation Of Economic Slavery Systems

Whether we examine: The Plantation, Company-Store, or Modern Corporations - we will find that all three of these systems are fundamental economic structures designed to mitigate the moral and ethical requirements, in the area of paying humans, for their true costs of labor. Whereas, The Plantation System was a blatantly egregious, and obvious, incarnation of unwarranted economic servitude - The Company-Store System offered a certain quaint measure of respectability when looked at [merely] upon the surface, by outsiders. One did not readily see the mechanisms whereby the workers were truly and thoroughly enslaved. Thus, it flourished much longer!

However, the movement by Americans to unionize and collectively bargain - which began in the late 1800's - foreshadowed the end of a very abusive political era. Companies could no longer directly enslave their workers through monopolizing the communities and social institutions around them - for long. The people had finally figured out their playbook of strategies and something far more clever was sorely needed. That solution was provided in [the form of] "The Modern Corporation...."
