It is a truism that in democracy no one wields power without a vote (leaving aside election fraud for a moment) and in the capitalist system no international conglomerate gets to be such without us all buying their goods. The theorist tell us that we all give a little of our power away to be benefitted by the result. I think we can safely say the theorists have it completely wrong.
The system is design to steal our power and allow the few to use immense power to rule us. There is no great debate and no great discussion between us and the powerful that they ever need to imbibe. There is no gratefulness from conglomerates to the millions who give them their wealth.
We have created a system that punishes people for being powerless.
