This is a battle between Globalists Capitalists and National Capitalists.

The difference Globalists don’t care about the well being of their citizens/nations as long as their wealth grows. Whereas the Nationalists understand you need to factor in your sovereign nation/citizens. We shouldn’t be letting Chinese Uger slave labor make our pharmaceuticals, iPhones, Nikes and drones.

No. There’s thousands of companies in St. Louis that make hundreds of thousands of dollars for their owners and the last thing they want to be is a large corporation.

Define capitalism for us, Jjdoc.

The Constitution doesn't define it.

Oh, and about the Constitution and why I'm not a huge fan of it; " But whether the Constitution really be one thing or another, this much is certain- it has either authorized such a government as we have or powerless to prevent it."- Lysander Spooner.

Populists want more manufacturing in America through coercive measures. Where's that part in the Constitution?

From another thread

How will your perceived "nation" benefit from being poorer?

Yeah there will be less income inequality via redistribution and devolving our economy (which is what you expect under leftist economic policies), but y'all haven't articulated why this is a good strategy.

the goal of individuals is to maximize return on investment. M&A activity is usually driven by that philosophy for individual investors, whereas large corporations can have different goals, such as squashing competition.

Goal of any company is to increase profits regardless of size. Companies are very straight forward whether owned by one or many. The goal is to make money. M&A activity is based on making money, squashing competition is to take more market share and make more money. I'm not sure what you're trying to state here as a difference?

I'm just looking to understand the difference between corporatocracy and capitalism. Cause capitalism in its ultimate form has always been growth into a larger company.

So corporatocracy is when a company becomes large and we don't want that. We want capitalism where the goal is a limited size business?

I don't feel like I got that right

The fallacy in that statement is an assumption that this downturn due to changes in trade will lead to a poorer nation. I would submit that it will do the opposite and history has proven this.

It wasn’t capitalism that did that. It was the infiltration of capitalism by subversive forces like socialism and over-regulation.

That is exactly what you advocate. We have a system that involves gov. And you dislike that. Without that, we would cease to be a nation because of take over. They could literally cut off the USA from critical needs and kill millions you fricking moron.

How is taking money from productive areas to redistribute it to unproductive areas going to lead to prosperity, exactly?

No. You're creating a strawman, as if your brand.

I gave you a good list to start with and you couldn’t even discuss them.

This is a lie and anyone with a brain (obviously you don’t) can easily see it. At the start of the computer age all the best/advanced chips were made in NoCal (thus the reason it was nicknamed Silicon Valley). Those advance chips would never been made had it not been for that development and they could still make them there.

No need. I am a pro constitutional voter. In our form of gov, it has a role in commerce like it or not.

US citizens being addicted to cheap foreign goods did not do it any favors. We need to reevaluate what we actually need to be buying for ourselves and our families. This is a country mostly full of people who want a house full of "stuff" as George Carlin would put it. That is not where we should be headed as a country.
