I'm not talking about socialism, I'm talking about corporate socialism, which is not a form of socialism. It's a term which demonstrates how anti-liberal and anti-meritocratic and even anti-capitalist the top-down government-corporate control network is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (4 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works -9 points 1 year ago (3 children) It isn’t socialist in any way Doesn't matter.

Get used to it because it's a fixture of our society. If corporations trampled on capitalism, they would erase themselves. Nobody in any board room will ever care about that large-scale erasure. They will each act in support of their career and their shareholders' profits. Destroying the environment may ultimately erase all corporations. They don't care. They cannot care. They are an algorithm for increasing profits. Larger ideological values are irrelevant. So-called capitalism (to the extent that it even exists) is a product of all this high-concept greedy animal behavior, not the cause. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (3 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* I like the idea of just renaming things to criticize something else entirely.

Capitalism as instantiated doesn't match our descriptions of it. Human greed is the constant engine. Liberalism emerged from that emergent environment, and in some ways helps maintain aspects of those systems. But corporations will never actually support any ideology, whether that ideology supports or opposes "capitalism." Corporations (or rather the humans whose greed is their engine) will, at best, stab us in the eyes and ears with ANY fractured ideological images that gets them some near-term increase in power or profits. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies) load more comments (-1 replies) load more comments (-1 replies)
