Excellent article Typhoon, thanks for posting. Good companion article:

Simply
put, those with assets to lose, don't like competition or teat suckers.
Reminds me of My Left Preaching, Right Practicing friends. They have NX mean incomes, but none choose to live on the X part, and give away the (N-1)X part. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have publicly spoken about how they plan to give away 99% (where have I seen that number before?) of their wealth. Hmmmm.... how about within the next year guys? Net worth of the Clinton's, Kennedy's, Kerrys, Obama's, Pelosi's, etc.
My whole life I have heard the Dems mouth pro-union policies, because they promote higher wage jobs, higher consumer prices be damned. Just in the last few months they have reversed their belief and now push more immigration because it lowers wages which is good for consumers. No wonder the unions have abandoned them.
Social Justice is a double edges sword apparently.
"....But promoting social justice is also a cheap way for businesses to get some easy PR while also diverting attention from their own, often ruthless, business practices. Never mind our tax affairs, let’s talk about how awful racism is!
Virtue signalling is cheap, and ‘tolerance’ is easy when it costs you precisely nothing; as long as you give lip service to diversity and equality, much of the Left will overlook how you actually behave and will concentrate their rage on small bakeries, whereas in the past they might have focused on wages or the treatment of producers.
In fact, instead of being costly to big business as socialism would be, social justice actually profits them....

Replace "corporatism" and "businesses" in the two referenced articles with "humans" and I think the authors are right on the money. The universal contest between "we" and "me " continues.
Also reminds me of this oldie:
