I clearly state that I believe that the solution is for government "acting as overseer and regulator". I am a fascist. The mediator between the head and the hands must be the heart..
You American conservatives really need to stop calling everything you disagree with Marxist because its obvious that most of you know very little about Marxism so you do not sound intelligent - you sound like hysterical lunatics. And now you are to the point that you call capitalism Marxism. Unbelievable.
Two of your biggest corporations are McDonalds and KFC. I suppose you small business loving libertarian loons would have preferred they stayed in the hands of the gay couple and Colonel Sanders and never got big. It took an individual or individuals that were thinking big and had the capital or access to it to make those businesses into the multinational corporations that they are today. Thats capitalism not Marxism. Capitalism wants business to succeed not stay small. Capitalism wants the individual or individuals to succeed. If a small business is good enough then it will become big business under capitalism and that is what we should all want. But having the product/idea is not enough - the idea needs capitalist heroes behind the good products and business ideas - and McDonalds and KFC are proof positive of that. The gay men behind McDonalds and Colonel Sanders with his Kentucky fried chicken may have had a good product and model but if the businesses had stayed in their hands I would not be able to walk from where I am right now in a small town in Australia and buy myself some McDonalds or KFC. Would that make you happy? America! Capitalism! You call it Marxism? Jesus Christ.
And its big business that can employ the most people. Its big business that can offer the lowest prices. All business is out to make as much profit from the consumer as they can. My father runs a small business - he has a garage in a small town that sells fuel/gas and oil, batteries and tyres. He hates Bob Jane. He always tells me that Bob Jane is a %$%$. He hates Bob Jane because Bob Jane is a corporation that sells tyres and since they are so big they have the capital to buy tyres in bulk and get them at a low price and then sell them at a low price while still making a decent profit. My dad on the other hand has to sell at a much lower profit margin due to the small volume of tyres he is buying/selling. Bob Jane represents the best combinations. Big business represents the best combinations not small business. If we all had to rely on small business then we would be paying a lot more for our products and services or we would be driving around on cheap Chinese tyres that my dad likes to try to sell to people so he can make some profit. Ha. Do you really want Cheng Shin tyres? Small business owners that cry about big business and want to 'bust the trusts' are just like the Machine Breakers in the Iron Heel chapter I posted above. And consumers that are anti-big business are modern day luddites. And as much as surveys tell us that consumers have a positive opinion of small business and a low opinion of big business it doesnt seem to stop them from shopping at Walmart or buying from Amazon does it? Or Bob Jane. Ha. If not for the low prices that Bob Jane can offer my dad would be charging a lot more for tyres.. Big business offering low prices puts pressure on small business to do the same.

Fascism is the answer you are looking for.
