Its faces are as legion as its names, but its disguises all spring from one and the same root, the singular notion that you can get something for nothing.

The very idea that you can get knowledge without the work of inquiry, that you can get good at inquiry without the work of accumulating experience, that you can govern a complex society on a shoestring.

Of course, only real losers fall for that, don't they?

Corporate Feudalism

We see today a global push toward corporate feudalism. Its promoters mean to destroy what little public sector we have left, de-professionalize all professions except for hedge-fund managers, and de-unionize every worker who is creating true art, producing real goods, or delivering essential services. When we reach that point, corporate ownership of everything will seem like a necessary evil.

What we are seeing today is a global push toward corporate feudalism. The pushers must first destroy what little public sector we have left, de-professionalize all professions except for hedge-fund managers, and de-unionize every worker who is creating true art, producing real goods, or delivering essential services. By the time we reach that point, corporate ownership of everything will seem like a necessary evil.

But who owns those corporations?

Most likely those with the most disposable capital; ie The Russian Government & the Chinese Government. Albeit not directly of course, shells within shells...

Personally, I'm beginning to see some sense to that Vast Redcoat Conspiracy Theory, but one of the most insidious shills within that Tin Candide Outer Shell is evidently the Koch Brotherhood.
