They haven’t overthrown shit.
This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.
As we all know, siphoning of the power to the small percentage of people had never happened prior to capitalism.
I never said nor implied anything about any other system. I spoke about capitalism.
Ahhh, some fresh whataboutism!
Not the point. Look into economics of scale. Capitalism does this shit as a rule.
If other systems have the same effect, it’s a problem with them too. But it’s still a problem with capitalism.
As we all know, the workers get tired of it, revolt and the 1% disappear
Not really. They just get replaced by the people leading the revolution (there are exceptions of course, like Robespierre in the French Revolution).
you mean like feudalism ?
Its not just techno feudalism. Musk and Bezos trying to reinvent ‘company towns’ housing being hoarded and only rented, education only through massive debt. Tech is just part of it, its everywhere and should be called Neo-feudalism.
company towns and expensive education were a thing in the less regulated era of capitalism, its not new, we are just coming back to it. its late stage capitalism.
Maybe they just need a friend to fill in the void that they’re trying to fill with power and money.
