I suggest we rename the capitalists

[leftofthedial]

henceforth they should be called "free-fall market" champions.

1. Nah, I prefer the "Socialism for the rich" title

Which is deeply ironic- they spent a lot of time and money making "socialism" a bad word, so I find it highly satisfying to paint them with their own red brush.

[Cleita]

3. Make it even more so, and call it communism for the rich.n/t

[TahitiNut]

9. "Corporate communism"?

Works for me. :shrug:

[leftofthedial]

4. that works too

[fascisthunter]

2. I Prefer Fascists

[leftofthedial]

5. and that they are

[guitar man]

6. yep..."fatpigtalists" nt

[leftofthedial]

12. free trough capitalists

[baldguy]

7. We've just seen the largest corporate takeover in American history.

And it was done by the United States Federal Government. I think that destroys the myth of capitalism - free=fall market or otherwise.

8. "kleptocrats" works for me . . . . [n/t]

[leftofthedial]

13. this is unbelievable, isn't it?

[TahitiNut]

10. Predatory capitalists.

Any parasite that kills its own host is an unsuccessful parasite.

[leftofthedial]

14. that would make them a virus

que no?

[htuttle]

11. I'm fond of the term "Banksters"

[Dukkha]

15. I've always used the term "Meists"

as in "ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!"
Many always claimed that the '70s was the "me decade" and I never saw evidence of that. The '80s was where the Reagan lead cocaine fueled Meism really came into fold.

[leftofthedial]

16. I like it.

the raygun era is absolutely the me era. (or erra, as it turns out)
