Dems vs. Repubs

<< < (3/4) > >>

virtuoso:

Seriously man why do you think they all got popped/offed? all of them became a threat. Besides, I don't abide by labels as they mean absolutely nothing and haven't meant anything for a long time.

Santanaz:
democrats = tax n spend

republicans = borrow and spend

only affiliation I have is with this Crippin... I align myself with that bullshit.

The Overfiend:
The differences between both parties are not great, they are actually both corporatist.


If you look at CORPORATE theory, government and corporatism go hand in hand.




Corporatist theory evolved out of classical political pluralism. Classical political pluralism is the idea that society is made up of groups that work through parliament to get their needs met. Corporatism is also the same, although the difference is that corporations work through government and parliament to get their needs met but also help government run and keep society/the economy functioning -so it is a give and take that political pluralism does not have as groups in political pluralism already give through taxes, etc and so compete as groups to get their needs and wants met through government, the difference with corporate theory is that corporations also require government help and co-operation , but in return they help run the economy, run the country, etc. You can't have corporatism without government.



 
Republicans tend to oppose any type of invasive government regulation of corporations. The Democrat rebuttal to that is corporations have to be regulated by government to provide a partial relief for the social and economic deficiencies of unfettered corporatism. After all, corporations are lets remember, a legal person whose personality is there to be engineered, so if we want a compassionate corporation we have to create one. Who is the immediate primary creator for the job? The State. The Leviathan. The Republicans would argue it is up to the consumer to change the market, let the market change with demand, don't regulate corporations and stifle liberty and the market with your communist ideology you commie sons of bitches!!!! ;D




IMO, this has to happen from both the top (through government) and through the consumer/the market and the corporations themselves, there is no single answer from one single angle.



Both parties are corporatist, both are for big government, its just a difference of opinion regarding government regulation of corporations, that is really the main issue. Not that one wants to 'control the world through corporations and the other wants to do it through government'. Corporatism and government go hand in hand.

Good point, it's just about the administration of the system, not the system itself which is being fought on
