(10,345 posts)So that scenario that happened to Microsoft. Which was a democratic socialist act...
You're against that?
Are you implying that you believe that Microsoft should have been allowed to continue buying all smaller competitors so that they would keep their stranglehold on the market, they would continue to grow and swell until they became an unbeatable entity. All "mom and pop" businesses that would dare try to enter the business would be destroyed.
You're fundamentally against that?
You're beginning to blow my mind here.
Democratic Socialism is exactly what the American economy was supposed to be. Federal oversight will prevent corporations and other private entities from becoming overpowered and controlling too much. But Reaganomics took over, now we have the current system, where corporations are encouraged to grow and cut costs left and right.
You're fundamentally against the polar opposite of that kind of ideal?
