Feel free to meet my logic with your own instead of your usual mindless prattle.

Feel free to use logic in the first place.
"Global government", "corporate boards"

The stuff you write is more suited to ill-printed, mimeographed leaflets that you pick up from unshaven fellows hanging around the student union.

Your view of democratic socialism wouldn't work, because you see no good ideas from the right. You are an avowed leftist, who wants no-one but those like yourself holding a position of power.
Give me a good idea from the right...in your opinion.

So you think that multi-national corporations are somehow, like, not multi-national? The European models in use in Norway and Finland are excellent examples of how traditional capitalism, when melded with socialism, results in an economic model that is like, beating our brains out in the marketplace. Businesses have lower healthcare costs, for example, because health care costs are born by the government, instead of by the company as it is here, for example. An American car has over $5,000 of direct health care and pension costs built into it. A German car does not. The Germany economy booms. Ours, does not. You need to lose the whole dirty hippy pinko thing, dude, like leave the 60's, and start understanding the economics going on. We are losing to blended economies because they work better. A country with regulated or state owned electric companies are going to lower the overhead of their businesses because they can buy electricity for their manufacturing plants cheaper. These companies also don't need to worry about buying expensive private health insurance for their employees because the state provides it. In Norway, they don't have to worry about the banks stealing all the money, because the states own the banks. These countries don't suffer from your dirty hippy syndrome, they are finding out that our anti-regulation economy simply does not work in the modern global economy, there are simply things which the state does better. I haven't seen a lot of riots in Canada lately, have you? Perhaps that is because the things that make life better like good healthcare and pensions are guaranteed by the state. American right wingers think that taking those things away are a smart thing. Canadian right wingers, or French, whatever, don't even argue such things. In their countries, the state protects the people from the ravages of extreme capitalism, and the ravages of extreme socialism, and instead uses the best features of both. We should get a clue.

I would keep aware that the Tea Party is headed by Dick Army ,one of the biggest lobbiest in DC, Not to mention another head of the party behind the scenes played a main part in the Abromoff camp ,HELLO. The fact that their anti tax,less govt is a big ploy to get votes ,the camp has been a big funding tree of the Republicans for some 15 yrs plus.Its alot of smoke and mirrors if you look thru their disguise.
