And yet when the Republican 'faction' gets elected, they have yet to manage to exclude the Democratic 'faction' from office forever. And vice versa.
You need to *way* calm down here. This is a fun ATL exercise, not beating up your Grandma.
The only person I see here being melodramatic is you, and that started with your quoted post
If you can't handle reasonable discourse about opinions you've thrown into the market place of ideas, I suggest you stay out of the kitchen, if you'll allow me to mix my metaphors.
In regards to Democrats/Republicans the difference is of course obvious; the political parties are intergovernmental. There's a Democratic party in every state, a Republican party in every state, along with plenty of third parties and independents,
none of which are explicitly tied to the governmental strucutre. However, in a system where you have the legislature of NY, for example as you've decided on the American analogy, becoming the national legislature, there is no longer any reason to hold back; what accountability does the NY legislature have to the people of Oklahoma? Fur that matter, why should the NY legislature
care about the people of Oklahoma? This won't be a dramatic coup be but a slow and yet steady degeneration. After the first election the NY-congress will pass national laws making it harder for non-NY legislatures to become elected, restricting the vote in various ways. Even if elected out of office in the next cycle, whichever faction does get into office at that point will merely do the same thing, amending the previous laws to suit their side instead of repealing them. The entire structure is a house of cards, and as soon as someone jiggles the table a little bit it all comes tumbling down.
Your definition of 'corporatism' is just wrong. I"m not sure why you keep repeating it. The definition of 'corporation' that corporatists use would include churches, labor unions, any sort of collective organized body. The idea was not to model the state on the capitalist for-profit stock corporation at all. Corporatist states were organized nothing at all like Costco.
See;
I've heard this definition as well, but I think we can concede that corporatism has as many definitions as democracy and fascism.
Thank you rvbomally. I'd also like to point out that there's quite a world of difference between the type of government monarchists describe and what actually ends up happening under a monarch, and yet we call it all the same thing.
Also, if my definition is so explicitly wrong, why is the agreed-upon definition used by the rest of the internet; Wikipedia, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and even by Merriam-Webster?
Finally, once again OP, I've liked the posts I've seen so far and I'm looking forward to more. Perhaps all this reasonable discourse will help you sharpen your ideas for future posts
