Quote:To suggest that Socialism or Communism or Anarchism have been tried and proved to be failures - excuse me? What? Where is the big, morally correct example of the success of Capitalism?
Actually, I never said that. Please try to avoid ranting at me - I've heard it all before. Expressing your opinion will suffice.
I'm a revisionist, just like Marx should have been and Engels ended up being. Blended models seem to be best able to maintain some semblance of popular control (think Scandinavia. Germany and Japan to a certain extent). Of course, to attain something like that in America would require a fullscale cultural about-face with regards to the native 'adversarial' collective bargaining model.
Ever heard of 'the American plan'? That's an interesting time in American labour history.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
