re: #354 Bill Dalasio

But, again, “ownership” in fascist regimes is not directly comparable to ownership in the Western legal and economic traditions. The continued right to the residual benefit of corporate assets was conditional on the continued adherance to the fascist central plan. The “owners” in question had no practical control over the assets’ disposition, rendering them de facto administrators of the assets on behalf of the central plan. That pattern, while not Marxist (as I’ve noted) is most certainly socialist.

De facto administrators don’t get to keep huge percentages of company profits like company owners do. And US corporate administrators are subject to the vagaries of the market and the will of the shareholders; if they don’t perform in a manner satisfactory to the majority stockholding will, they are shown the door.
