Full of sound and fury

I’ll assume this is in response to my earlier essay:

Each major global organization follows a similar structure. Governing bodies, financial institutions and corporations have many employees occupying lower-level positions with little knowledge of what’s going on or what the organization is really about. Further up the organization are less and less people with more and more power, the most powerful being executives and so forth.

All of those organizations have similar peaks of power. Those top individuals, through class relations and shared business interests, work together to maximize and sustain their advantages. This manifests in various ways in different parts of the world, some see it as crony capitalism, others see it as governmental corruption. It’s all of the above. It’s a push for consolidation of power through any and all economic and political means.

The powerful work together to secure their interests. It’s readily observable. Do corporate CEOs fight in war or die in battle? Do they work the night shift on Saturdays? What about venture capitalists? What about governors or Presidents? Of any nation? The elite are simply the peaks of wealth and power of the interconnected global system. They are separated from the rest of society. They do not fight or die in wars and they do not work in factories. The masses do, and the elite manage them like cattle on a global scale.

Simply observe Putin and Zelensky. Thousands upon thousands have been slaughtered and those two march around in front of cameras like celebrities. They are the peaks (or near) of political power.

The global powers don’t need to conspire; the organizational trends of the species allow these dynamics. Each human population, regardless of socioeconomic arrangement, has a peak of power. That person or group is protected, removed from normality, while subordinates are sacrificed, exploited and managed. It plays out similarly around the world. The peaks of power, the global elite, are systematically sustained, lavished and protected while the subordinates are subject to countless indignities. It isn’t even conspiracy theory.

Regarding a solution that is suggested in closing of my essay. A solution is obviously difficult to offer. First we must communicate and discuss these ideas which should be easy now that we have the internet. We must bring these ideas and discussions to the forefront.

Many question the socioeconomic system. Is it the system, or is it the species?
