>How do you reach such a conclusion? Because you said so?
No, by examining history (well, those facts available to me), and making some mental work of drawing connections and forming ideas.
Why not provide a counter-argument (or even just an alternative proposition) instead of insulting me with the "because you said so" thing?
For me it's obvious --to the point of making explaining it inane-- that a company dealing with money is easier to reason about and deal with than people deep in ideology.
A quick definition of ideology is that of a belief system not particularly moved by facts. This is what makes it frightening.
Sure, corporations have committed huge crimes for money -- but at least you know what they are after and how they will go about it.
With ideology? Not so much. There are hundreds of millions of victims of ideology all around the world. From the victims of Stalinism to the Holocaust, to the Spanish Inquisition, to the Manson family etc.
Whereas economy/money is the domain of greed, ideology is the domain of whatever. It can raise the more crazy and multi-faceted monsters.
