We have been confusing corporate feudalism with capitalism. Capitalism would not pay the head of GM, the loser of some $75B one red cent and would boot him out on his head. Corporate feudalism pays as much as the Board thinks is possible without causing a shareholder or public riot.<<

Very good. I saw it as in a sense replacing democracy with capitalism. But I like the "corporate feudalism" idea.

Exactly.

Both capitalism and communism do n ot care about humanism. One denigrates it, the other shuns it. Instead I would say that socialism practiced as "compassionate capitalism" is the best form.
