funny retort I just thought up for those who believe corporations are People....
"Corporations ARE People, my friend."
retort: "No, they're not, because People, like most creatures born on this planet, do not shit where they eat."
I highly recommend viewing economist, Richard Wolff, who speaks elloquently about Democracy as being the cure for capitalism. He opened my eyes to how we've been indoctrinated to thinking the wrong way about some things...a lot of things, actually. One that prompted my commentary above, is that regulations don't work because they leave in place a power equal to the task of getting around them, given all the money and resources neccessary to fight and get any regulation softened, or removed: The Board of Directors (and suggests getting rid of the board is the only way to get corporate management to act responsibly, by making those who work in the plants responsible, instead of some group of People who don't care about whether the jobs stay or go to China, or what chemicals are released into the local soil). He does an excellent job of pointing out we don't really get to see any Democracy in our waking lives - which is, he possits, the reason we have, "Happy Hour," because it reminds us of what the rest of our hours are like, and why they will send large men in blue suits to hurt you, should you forget, and accidently take home anything you made today, to remind you that you don't own any of it, and get no say in how it's made, or what you will make.
Germany has a Left political party, whose tag-line is, "Germany can do better than capitalism," and one in eight People who vote there, vote for that party...and over there they have proportional representation, unlike the "winner-takes-all" system here in the US (so they get one of eight seats in Parliament, and money to spread the word of what they are about).
In Spain they have Worker Self Directed Enterprises, where everyone is part owner, and everyone gets a vote without regard to how much stock you own. So everyone may do what they were hired for, Monday through Thursday, but then on Friday they have meetings, and do someone else's job, and everybody decides who will do someone else's job (because nobody will learn to run the place unless they're taught, and it's crazy to believe only a few People should know how to run a place when grades in college have so little to do with the capability needed).
