Re: Could Bankruptcy Actually Help GM?
Actually, the problem with corporations, the USSR and today's worker unions is that they all have a top-down centrally controlled framework. A participatory economy avoids those pitfalls by using a framework based on a system of participation. If a decision only affect you, then naturally you control 100% of the decision making power, but if a decision affects more than just you, your 'vote' in that decision making process would be proportional to the degree that it affects you. That sort of framework is quite natural to humans, but we've been conditioned to believe that only 'qualified' people are capable of making certain decisions, even if they have a huge impact on our lives. Communism and corporations share a lot in common, and I don't like either because they both represent forms of unjustified totalitarian rule. Things will improve, I'm sure that the human spirit can overcome all forms of tyranny because a better world is always possible and I think everyone knows it deep down... Ethics will become the dominant force of the 21st century, you can already see it happening.
