RE: The leadership of tomorrow looks very different than it does today

Hi @wwf, You have used the term modern feudal slavery couple of times in your posts. In my humble view, this term does not cover the corruption of the richest capitalists. Why is it like that? Aren't they more responsible for the corruption in the world in modern times? I mean they own the most capital and power than feudal lords.

Sort:  

The richest capitalists are the feudal lords.

Oh I see. Aren't Feudalism and Capitalism two different systems?

My dictionary defines capitalism as:

The condition of possessing capital or using it for production; a system of society based on this; dominance of private capitalists. - Oxford Unabridged Dictionary 1958

Capitalism can easily exist within a feudal system. As such, the rich end up being the lords. But the sovereign still sits on top to control and own it all. People still swear fealty to the sovereign and submit to the feudal lords.

The uber rich however have since usurped the sovereign and taken control of the forms of government while maintaining the figure heads to maintain control of the people, resources, etc. Everything has been capitalized as a result.

  1. to convert into capital - Oxford Unabridged Dictionary 1958

It is a @#$%#@#$ mess.
