"Massive international corporations hate competition"

I agree. But, as we all know, monopolies create economic and innovative stagnation due to lack of competition. Exactly the problem with socialism. Its a catch 22. Pure capitalism without political reigns is prone to massive economic and political corruption and pure socialism without economic freedom is prone to the same. There needs to be a balance.

I've been mentally toying with several variations of democratic republic government configurations that could theoretically help address such issues.

Ever heard of of giant corporation buying out the competition and then managing the competition between them from one board room or maybe two. The stupid sheeple wouldn't know the difference.
