      The state IS the corpos. We don’t have democracies. We have corporate plutocracies — where the Venn diagram between the most powerful individuals and corporations is basically a circle.

      Money is more than just speech. Money is votes, and the more money you have, the more votes you have… and all of those “votes” go to pre-vetting, pre-selecting, pre-approving, financing, and promoting the names that appear on your ballot, as well as all the bills they vote on.

        You are not wrong but mixing them as “the same guy” loses nuances that each play within the ruling regime.

        If we really gonna start naming then we should naming owners of corporations though, not their lap dog politcians and career government monkeys.
