You’re right, I shouldn’t assume, I should just ask.

Do you deny that we have a corporatist government and have had for several decades?

Great many people throw around the word "corporatism" but don't specify what it means to them. It has meant many different things to great many people (see, e.g., Wikipedia's article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism).

You could also ask, are you for or against capitalism? A person may be all for capitalism (as I am) but still be against unbridled capitalism that allows for a few monopolies to be formed.

The point is, one has to be careful with such all-inclusive notions. The devil is in specifics.

As I said many times on this forum, if you have specific events, tendencies, etc. to discuss, by all means, let's do that. But wholesale notions and accusations do not help us to identify true enemies trying to ruin this great country of ours.
