Feudalism is akin to a large politician elite. Nobles and Kings derive their rights from the goverment, not from capitalism. They live off high taxation from both the working class and the merchant class. In fact it was once we reduced the power of kings and nobles, that the merchant class was able to flourish.
It is a huge miss-conception to equate old feudal systems to big business.
Let me ask you something: How would big businessmen rule over you? if you don't like some company, you just don't buy their stuff and they break down.
Sorry to barge in, I've been lurking and just have a question.
I mean, couldn't businesses influence us the same way the government does? Like google saves our searches and gives us certain advertisements/marketing based off our search history. Organizations you work for probably save all your internet usage history and if you're on their wifi on your phone, couldn't they use that too? My HR professor said organizations are already doing this and that most just don't know how to use all the information they've collected. It's just subliminal messaging, like brainwashing.
Depending on which business has the most money and most influential partnerships with other organizations like, for instance, google, couldn't it be that the consumer might never hear about an alternative or new product and so we keep buying from a company we don't like?
I still see an issue with big government though, like if your politicians can be bought, then you're still going to have this issue regardless. I just wonder if either alternative presented here thus far is capable of addressing these issues.
