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.

CB: Well, in terms of tactics or strategies of the working class, it
is a basis for dividing the bourgeoisie. It is a basis for winning the
small bourgeoisie or a big section of them to the side of the working
class against the big bourgeoisie in the "final conflict"
Similarly, in a divide and conquer tactic , the working class might
aim to divide the industiral or commercial bourgoisie from the
speculatiors or bankers or financiiers.
With due respect, when the focus is on practice, what is to be done,
one thinks in terms of tactics and strategy on behalf of the working
class vs the bourgeoisie. An elementary tactic is to divide ,somekind
of way, the other side. That's the reason for thinking in terms of
different sections of the bourgeosie
