But Doug, just in the last month he's written blistering analyses like these: "Citigroup, Heal Thyself" <http://www.counterpunch.org/nader0727.html> "Corporate Socialism: The CEO Crimewave" <http://www.counterpunch.org/nader0718.html> "The Secret World of Banking" <http://www.counterpunch.org/nader0715.html>
And how do you read this paragraph without making a mad dash for the barricades?
>"Corporate socialism" -- the privatization of profit and the
>socialization of risks and misconduct -- is displacing
>capitalist canons. This condition prevents an adaptable
>capitalism, served by equal justice under law, from delivering
>higher standards of living and enlarging its absorptive
>capacity for broader community and environmental values. Civic
>and political movements must call for a decent separation of
>corporation and state.
