   The intriguing part is how as communism progresses, the idea that businesses must be run only for the common good expands, but the expectation that politicians do weakens.
   
   The excuse being that somehow after they "fix" the businesses they can come back for the rulers.

     @TrevorGoodchild @doctorsex they just took fractional reserve to its logical conclusion - "as long as there is a return in the end, it's OK, the only mistake is being caught with the bag"

     @TrevorGoodchild @doctorsex but I do agree that "money power" is a new form of power in society. Merchants had very little power prior to the middle ages. First real time they did was in Italy, iirc.
     
     And until we find a good balance for the power that economic actions generate we're going to be constantly wobbling.

     @sickburnbro @doctorsex Fractional reserve banking + pure fiat currency + control of the world's reserve currency
     
     Yeah. That's a problem.

     @doctorsex also, I hate marx and socialists. They are midwit wordcels that thought if they create fancy words like "praxis" or "anthesis/thesis/synthesis" for old ideas, they could claim it was new.
     
     Guess what faggots, slapping a science paint on sophistry

     @sickburnbro @doctorsex Much like modern economists try to use mathematical formulae to conceal what is either usury or fraud

     This is because the basic assumptions are that:
     -power functions the way it does because of the bourgeoisie/money power
     -the "proletariat" is always correct (and obviously, politicians are chosen by the "proletariat")

     I think the modern iteration where everything is propped up by the financial and investment industries is uniquely insidious and rapacious in ways that money power hasn't been in the past

     @doctorsex @TrevorGoodchild for sure. The control that money power has been able to generate has been immense.
     
     It used to be that wisdom and knowledge would support priest classes, but now knowledge is fed into industry which produces products which feeds into money power.

     @doctorsex @TrevorGoodchild But we are reaching a point where the massive gains due to new knowledge are coming to an end point and people will question this power.

     @sickburnbro @doctorsex I'm sure you read this by now but I repoast it as much as I can
     
     We are in a 'lenocracy' now, that's what a FIRE economy truly is.

     > Russia has its own problems with lenocracy—nearly all modern nations do—but it also has a leadership ruthless enough that any lenocrat whose exactions get in the way of military production risks an accidental fall from a tenth-story window.
     
     And this is probably a major reason why NATO is getting trounced in Ukraine: Russia is still a serious country that looks out for its own interests.

     @teknomunk @doctorsex @sickburnbro In both Russia and China oligarchs know that their life expectancy can be severely curtailed if they fuck around. Look at how the CCP broke Jack Ma.
     
     Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Jamie Dimon, and Mark Cuban have never felt such fears. That should be corrected.

     @TrevorGoodchild @teknomunk @doctorsex @sickburnbro Vietnam is doing the same thing. They just sentenced their own version of Leona Helmsley to death.
