3/22/2013 7:35:01 PM Posted: 5 years ago Not corporatism as commonly understood as the rule of corporate enterprises. Corporatism, as expressed in Italian Fascism, was a system where business leaders, labor unions and state officials controlled the economy and negotiated how to do so. Essentially, the point is to have the economy controlled by incorporation of all the different relevant interests. This is similar, in ways, to modern day china and other Asian tiger-economies.
Benito Mussolini promoted this system in saying that democracy tended to exclude certain interests at the favor of others, whereas corporatism forcibly included them all at once, thus making it more democratic than democracy itself.

3/22/2013 7:37:04 PM Posted: 5 years ago I've always wondered why I've never seen civil libertarianism mixed with corporatism. It seems kinda like an important position.

I myself believe that corporations will take over the world if they haven't done so already. Governments would have to seek the best interests of the corporations instead of the people. So why not make everything government controlled? We don't need a competitive market if everything is precisely set out to provide maximum efficiency with no extra profit to individuals in high positions. It seems like a good idea, but my view is highly flawed and I can see it. I just don't like the idea of corporations with lots of power. Take for example the Australian mining industry, who ended up richer than the government and more influential as well. This power that they had I don't think exists today, but they are still very rich and capable of messing with lots of things. Gina Rinehart is the CEO of the business and is the world's richest woman as the result. But never-mind my views, I'm more interested in seeing a corporation actually take over a country. That would be fun.

3/23/2013 3:24:32 PM Posted: 5 years ago The US doesn't "control" the economy in the sense I mean here. Business does have lots of influence in creating laws. That's a problem corporatism specifically calls to fix. Different interest groups are forced to agree upon specific compromises.
It's essentially the abolition of class warfare in favor of negotiation.

First of all, a system based upon "forcing" anyone to do anything involves coercion and conflict. It does not "eliminate class warfare". I would also say that "equal leverage power" is inherently unstable. A friend of mine helped me to illustrate this through the concept of "fairness". Essentially, if differences are minute (i.e. there is more or less "equality"), people will get upset at even the slightest differences and demand parity. These slight differences are ever-present. Furthermore, such a state of affairs would essentially forbid Pareto optimality - that win/win is ok even if one side becomes a lot better off than the other. It would preclude such differences from ever forming. I think this is wholly unrealistic. At 8/9/2013 9:41:24 AM, wrichcirw wrote: If you are civil with me, I will be civil to you.

3/24/2013 10:43:22 PM Posted: 5 years ago It still lead to the use of force in this negotiation though, I remembered that Hitler Nazi also did this a few time when they are still in parliamentary system. He just keep leaving the parliament until Hindenburg made him chancellor.
I think your system as show above did give people power to negotiate, that doesn't mean they will use it to negotiate. Let's say if every party else has agreed to one term that you don't and it doesn't concern you, it isn't sound very democracy when your voice alone has the right to veto all the vote. Look at the UN security council for example. |

3/25/2013 1:27:52 AM Posted: 5 years ago Let me put it this way - how do you define "force" minus "coercion"? Therein lies the impracticality of what you are proposing. In fact, it isn't even logical, unless a blue sky isn't blue to you.

I'm talking about a specific scenario where congress is replaced by a network of representatives--like in pairs over given domains--elected by each interest group who, by law, can't make new laws or allocate state resources without agreeing on how to do so. You made no argument. You said said it was unstable. That's great. What does it mean to me? Explain why. There's no reason why it would be any more unstable than sustaining a congress. I'm just talking about a different way of running government. And It's already been done. Although, in forms that are more authoritarian than I would like. So there's no reason to think it's unstable. Unless you can actually provide one. Because so far you've only thrown general ideas out there without actually addressing anything I'm saying. That doesn't mean you're wrong. No ad-homs here. It's that you're not actually having a conversation here. It's not hard to point out problems to me. I'm sure they exist.
