You are correct ... and among those rare few, The United States is not one of them ... nor are any who have a parasitic Rothschild central bank ruling their economy.

All are ism flavors.
Corporatism is dominate, but the illusion promoted by many of capitalism is understandable. The whole public and private has been blurred a long time ago.



Corporatism
quote:
In 1881, Pope Leo XIII commissioned theologians and social thinkers to study corporatism and provide a definition for it. In 1884 in Freiburg, the commission declared that corporatism was a "system of social organization that has at its base the grouping of men according to the community of their natural interests and social functions, and as true and proper organs of the state they direct and coordinate labor and capital in matters of common interest".
...
Corporatist types of community and social interaction are common to many ideologies, including: absolutism, capitalism, conservatism, fascism, liberalism, progressivism, reactionism, socialism, and syndicalism.
...
Fascist corporatism

Fascism's theory of economic corporatism involved management of sectors of the economy by government or privately controlled organizations (corporations). Each trade union or employer corporation would, theoretically, represent its professional concerns, especially by negotiation of labour contracts and the like. This method, it was theorized, could result in harmony amongst social classes.[30] Authors have noted, however, that de facto economic corporatism was also used to reduce opposition and reward political loyalty.
...
corporatism (ideology) -- Encyclopedia Britannica
quote:
the theory and practice of organizing society into “corporations” subordinate to the state. According to corporatist theory, workers and employers would be organized into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and controlling to a large extent the persons and activities within their jurisdiction.

For the past dozen years, technology is replacing jobs in America at a faster rate than they're being created, and that pace is quickening. It isn't going to stop anytime soon.

The Dem dream is to have the ever larger group of unemployables supported by the still productive.

It can't work, and is already past the tipping point, hence the frantic money printing to try to keep up with Dem spending on welfare.

The inflation-adjusted median income has been falling for many years. But we ain't seen nothin' yet.

For the purpose of this discussion, my comments pertain to turn of the century, to present.

All of the "isms" are an illusory construct, which are there to offer false choices and assign as the enemy. An analogy would be the NFL. Yes, there are 32 teams ... seemingly independent entities, all competing against each other for the big prize at the end of each season, known as the Super Bowl. In reality however, it is the NFL who ultimately controls and profits from the competition, and they do not care whether the Broncos or Seahawks win the big game. Their desire is to fill 32 stadiums all season, sell merchandise with the NFL Shield on it, and rake in Billions in television and advertising revenues.

Now, replace the NFL with TBC "Transnational Banking Cartel" (New World Order) who's franchise teams are not football teams, but "Nations". Each of these seemingly independent nation states operate under the transparent control of this TBC, and the games play out in the form of international commerce, geopolitical agendas, hot and cold wars, all of which have one purpose ... to enrich the TBC who make the rules, create the season schedules, determine who receives what resources, all while having multiple layers of their "Officials" in place at every game to enforce the rules.

By controlling the availability and costs of money ... they pick the winners and losers in business, and own the officials that set policies in government who pass laws that serve those big money interests.

The only "ism" that is real is "cronyism" . Operating and contolled by monopoly men.
