We obviously have interpreted this thing very differently. The way I read it, we were supposed to believe the bad guys are bad BECAUSE they are capitalists.

"The way I read it, we were supposed to believe the bad guys are bad BECAUSE they are capitalists."

Interesting that so many of those who describe themselves as being on the Left, say it is because they "hate corporations and their power." I always wonder if they could imagine an America without corporations. A pretty grim thought to my mind.

One alternative is all industry being controlled directly by government, which means that industrial entities would have all the force, power and authority of the law (which seems to me to be a Frankenstein monster version of our present system). This is what the Russians tried.

The other alternative is that we could just live without all the achievements and technology that have become such an integral part of our lives.

Most large corporations are owned by the general public, every shareholder has a vote. You'd think that leftists would love this concept, as most of them claim that democracy is the root of their ideals.
