i dont see how anyone could argue that it is obviously in the interests of capital to indulge the hallucination of "open markets"---you could come to oppose this absurd ideology on business grounds--a strong redistribution of wealth would assure greater social stability, would widen the number of possible consumers and would insure a better and more flexible system of social reproduction (training of future workers). the republican view of capitalism is but one ...a short sighted, self-defeating one at that...they have no monopoly on either articulating or defending the system...that you would think this is an effect of the right's longterm efforts to cast all opposition into a fictive "far left" position--which is ridiculous.
i dont see soros as being a particularly great guy for taking a stand against republican ideology--i think it an expression of his conception of self-interest. the only thing that surprises me is that more people in parallel positions do not do the same--publicly and loudly.
