Political Memes

It is impossible for a corruptible central power to effectively use its authority to self regulate.

Then how do you expect corporations to self-regulate? This looks an awful lot like doublethink to me. I suspect it's also why you've chosen to run from my questions. I'll need you to come to the table if you expect me to continue to answer your questions.

How would you stop a successful workers cooperative (...) from using their influence to get politicians to pull up the ladder behind them?

Can you clarify what ladder would be pulled up under communism?

Do you break up any unions that become too powerful?

What harmful behaviour would we be fighting against following the abolition of the commodity form?

The reason that monopolies form in a "free market" is because the established can, through the government, use violence to enforce their market superiority.

Completely ahistorical take. Companies don't need the government to commit violence, and without the counterweight of the threat of government violence, they're near guaranteed to commit that violence if it's the most profitable decision. Look at corporate behaviour in the absence of regulation.

Without absurd intellectual property laws (these need reform) , bespoke government regulations secretly crafted in corporate boardrooms (where's the motivation for this and the disproportionate economic power to do so in an economy run by/for workers), the ability to move one's operation to a nation without environmental & social protections while still reaping the benefits of selling in the western world (you're arguing for regulation now?) , and the promise to fall back on government bailouts should things turn sour (without the incentive to engage in high-risk activity for profit, bailouts would be far less common under communism, and only done if necessary), each and every one of these bloated monopolies would fall like the rotten trunks of long dead trees. (maybe focus on your point rather than flowery language. Again, history proves otherwise time and again. Regulation is required to break up monopolies, basic economics like economies of scale, first mover advantage, and the capital power to engage in anti-competitive pricing or straight violence all naturally lead to monopolies. Bases on your talking points, I suspect you're an ancap - go look at Pullman for a case study)

The system is broken because we give politicians the power to unfairly develop and enforce the rules of the game

The solution to this is to remove the economic/political power of the companies, implement strict anti-corruption legislation, minimising the means and motivation for companies to sway politicians, and shore up our democracy, not hand the reins of power to corporations that care about nothing but profit. The issue is that companies are buying politicians to skirt regulation and minimise their influence... And your solution is to eliminate the regulation and let companies do as they please?

You've vaguely gestured toward potential issues you can't articulate, said that companies self-regulate rather than regulators, and propose that in response to corporations behaving badly after they pay politicians to step away, we should make the government step away in the hope (against all evidence to the contrary, basic economic principles, and basic common sense) so that the corporations, motivated by nothing but profit will magically develop ethics? This is incoherent - get it together, my dude.
