I'll never stop exposing these members with a supremacist, neo-nazi agenda, since they parasite on free speech to cryptically promote their agenda of racial hatred and religious intolerance.
Corporatism, as well as the fusion of State and corporate power are inherent to this capitalist economy, and it emerged from it.
The word "corporation" derives from corpus, the Latin word for body, or a "body of people." Entities which carried on business and were the subjects of legal rights were found in ancient Rome, and the Maurya Empire in ancient India.[8] In medieval Europe, churches became incorporated, as did local governments, such as the Pope and the City of London Corporation. The point was that the incorporation would survive longer than the lives of any particular member, existing in perpetuity. The alleged oldest commercial corporation in the world, the Stora Kopparberg mining community in Falun, Sweden, obtained a charter from King Magnus Eriksson in 1347. Many European nations chartered corporations to lead colonial ventures, such as the Dutch East India Company or the Hudson's Bay Company, and these corporations came to play a large part in the history of corporate colonialism.
It dates back to the John D. Rockefeller who monopolized the oil industry, intertwined it with State politics by corrupting the Republican Party and creating the first "non-non-profit" corporations.
Corporatism is a RESULT of laissez-faire or liberal capitalism.
If the US government would have given itself the power to keep bankers and big profiteers away from controlling the economy, this would have been a from of State control of the economy, thus socialism.
It is a false belief, unproven by empirical facts, that "free markets" can rule themselves through some sorts of natural laws, as first theorized by Adam Smith.
The idea made sense, but it was IDEALISTIC, based upon FAITH, and not on scientific and historical observations of how the economy really works in society.
Marx did that later, actually, and found very different results... that capitalism is a system of organized and legalized crookery, there are no limits to its misdeeds, and only either popular revolts or State control (which he himself defended) could possibly force capitalism into serving more general interests than the mere pockets of the big parasites who profiteers from it.
He was partly wrong, especially in his promoting of a socialism that was just a new form of hardcore capitalism, but still a lot closer to reality than the "thinkers" of liberal capitalism.
That video is truthful, in a way, but also manipulative, posted in an even more manipulative manner by an ATS member who is himself openly harboring a pro-imperialistic and FASCIST imagery (mainly in his own avatar). I'll never stop exposing these members with a supremacist, neo-nazi agenda, since they parasite on free speech to cryptically promote their agenda of racial hatred and religious intolerance.
Always question, always criticize.

Maybe i have been conditioned too well by the powers running my country, but i honestly cannot see any future where sheople will actually stand up and say "you know what i'm sick of this crap we need new leadership" Our puppeteers have the population so perfectly supplicated that there is no ongoing underlying major anger issue (aka Egypt) that would make the people suddenly snap for change. Aside from like others have said pole shift, loss of electricity etc, there will be no changes. I feel sad because of this, i love my country and the people but i hate the people running the show, they spend money like it's monopoly money and are not accountable for anything that happens, thus mediocrity rules

John Francis Hylan (April 20, 1868 – January 12, 1936), nicknamed "Red Mike", was the Mayor of New York City from 1918 to 1925.
The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business.
The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes. Felix Frankfurter, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. (November 15, 1882 – February 22, 1965)
