I've long riled at the suggestion made by supporter of the Capitalist system that it somehow is a mirror to democracy. The corporation does what it's shareholders want it to do and they get to vote on it like a real democracy.
BULLSHIT!!!
How can it be a democracy where individuals or individual companies can hold such large share holdings that only their interest carry? It's like saying that your votes in a democracy should be based on your weight - so Big Wal just lost out.
I really grow tired of this constant comparison like it's some panacea to our woes. If anything, a corporation is more like a dictatorship. Look at News Corp - Rupert is doing all he can to ensure he maintains majority ownership and can't be toppled from the top. Why? Because he doesn't want it to be a democracy. He doesn't want to loose all that power and influence he has.
So if I hear another right wing wanker pull that one out of their arse, god help me!!!
