Why is it, that when I read Dutch I kind of understand it?

Agree with you Mitch, the socialist manifesto is idealistic and unrealistic. It assumes that all corporations are designed to exploit the poor. Companies such as Innocent smoothies have done very well with their ethical business model.

It is basically the same language (low German).

So did Ben & Jerry's until Unilever's $326m 'turned' them.

I don't subscribe to all that Socialist Worker rhetoric. I just quote it because it has had some amusing effects in the past with copies of the Daily Mail going flying in Berkshire and puce-faced Thatcherite rants being submitted to this board.

I do have quite a lot of sympathy with idea of kicking back against the few having big corporate control over the many.

The problem is both Labour and the Tories trying to position themselves precisely where they think the optimum position is to establish power means that having power becomes the ultimate goal rather than any principle about 'social justice' or the like.

The problem with corporations is that they 'live' too long. They should be limited to a life span of 20 years, and then the constituent parts sold off and the cash returned to the shareholders.

....yup. Right up to the point where they sold a 20% stake to that wonderfully ethical company Coca-Cola
