In order to facilitate popular support for the corporate model the government must be cast as the demon. In doing so the only reasonable alternative is the capitalism - capitalism is freedom, capitalism is democracy - the government is a fascist, communist dictatorship.
Ironic really. Just how stupid your country has become - really terrifying.
The process started in the 1920's with Edward Bernaise, United Steel - the transformation of good citizen - to good consumer as the foundation of patriotism.
64 of the worlds most powerful economies are corporations - 130,000 troops served in Iraq - 180,000 private military contrators did most of the work - including all security, some fighting, logistics, information (data, imagery, strategic) over half of all government expenditures are on the military, 70% of this goes to Intellience (alphabet agencies such as cia etc) 70% of THAT money goes directly to private companies - 70% of your intelligence is outsourced. The major decisions on the future strategy of the US is made by a private association of the heads of the largest private intelligence agencies along with 3 representatives from government - the total long term security of the US and its interests ARE decided by private corporations and non elected officials, or elected officials acting outside of the jurisdiction.
The corporate citizen enjoys freedom to travel and work anywhere his/her company takes them, they have the freedom to live and work in any country on earth - they are paid hundreds of times more than any other person, they are afforded all rights that any citizen has including constitutional rights (freedom of speech, double jeopardy etc) plus many many more that we as people do not - such as eternal life, immunity from liability, (IBM colluded in the hollocaust - but they are not elligible for criminal prosecution) compensation for government legislation, they also enjoy supranational powers from legislation enacted above and beyond the soverign legislation of countries - primarily from WTO and IP laws which allow them to seek compensation from governments seeking to protect their citizens (water rights people) through to forcing governments to repeal legislation unfavourable to their profit line.
Corporations are the most destructive, nefarious element in capitalism - the fact that as left wing progressives you are not counter acting the rights aggressive push to promote corporatism with the TRUTH that FASCISM is corporatism is your undoing.
Corporations are NOT democratic, America is - handing more and more power to corporations is fascism at its very heart - these people are holding up signs about the hollocaust - it was corporations that were behind much of what happened, from transport, infrastructure to CYCLON B the crystals which created the gas which killed the in the death camps = I have stood inside the chambers in Aushwitz where these people were murdered with a chemical created by a company which was listed on the German stock exchange up till 2003 IG FARBEN - why - because corporations are immune.
General elextric making nuclear weapons, lockhead, northrup raytheon all producing weapons to be used upon innocent civilians for profit - MANY from Raytheon used upon American citizens for profit - especially directed energy and sound weapons.
Fight accustation of socialism with the truth - fascism, corporatism, republican corruption, bribery shout it over and over again - astro-turfing is ALL you are seeing - and it can easily be fought and easily beaten with the truth - use the truth.
