I'm probably a misguided populist in the eyes of many here, but you've been at your battle against capitalism for about a century and a half. Isn't it perhaps high time to change tactics, educate entrepreneurs about the way the playing deck is stacked, and call the bluff of capitalists?
We can debate philosophy and tactics, but describing the populist struggle as something of an innovation is pretty far off the mark. In the U.S., populism, along with the various attempts to craft some sort of enlightened capitalism, has been around for a long long time, and has been bigger and more influential than socialism has ever been. The small biz vs. big biz thing is as old as big biz, and has been the source of many dead ends and delusions.
