  • Then corporations are very inefficient - they waste incredible amount of resources on advertising, stock buybacks and undermining their competition, they exploit renewable resources way past their replenishment rates (look what happened to tuna and codfish), they ignore ecological damage they create, pursue increasing wealth inequality and try to leech off state subsidies and direct technology transfers.

    The only way you can call corporations efficient if the desired result is the short term profits of the shareholders.











  • The truth is though that ultimately, politicians are gonna be malleable to those who are going to vote

    No, they are not. A single donation from a billionaire would buy more press to get more voters from name recognition than a million working class supporters. And if the politician betrays his base, the most he can fear is losing reelection, and even this is not assured. If a politician goes against billionaires, he is going to be smeared, harassed and have his opposition funded. This ensures that the only politicians in any significant elections are already guaranteed to serve billionaires.
