Do You Agree or Disagree

[The Whiskey Priest]

We have exchanged the divine right of kings for the divine right of capital?

[Metta]

1. "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism ...

because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

Benito Mussolini

[LostInAnomie]

2. Divine right of the Invisible Hand

Or the divine right of social darwinism.

[TahitiNut]

3. Golden Rule: "People with the most gold make the rules."

[McKenzie]

4. Yes. Capital rules and it has no morality.

Consider the importance of capital flow to the world's banking systems. Liquid capital is everything, without which the banking systems would freeze up. A lot of that capital flow is drug money and stopping the flow would cause major problems.

So capital rules even if it is amoral...or immoral depending on one's perspective. We have siezed a tiger by the tail and we can't let it go.

5. Riding tigers is not at all pleasant

One must wonder why humanity continues to do so?
