CMV: Governments of this world can no longer stop or control large corporations or monopolies from holding the people of this world at ransom.



The biggest glaring example right now of large corporations holding the people at ransom is Amazons search for a new mega warehouse location. We are at a point now where large organizations can demand zero taxation in exchange for the privilege of a Job. They don't even bother looking for tax havens anymore, they can just come out and demand what they want, no tax.

The Internet is no longer a luxury, it is a vital part of the structure of most countries. Disruption of this system  would be catastrophic to these countries. This makes it a national safety risk.

When the Rockefeller corporation controlled the oil industry it became a national risk. It is well recognized that this could not continue, and therefore his monopoly was dismantled. Today there is no mechanism to dismantle a world monopoly, this should be an international concern.

In fact there is no one person or group of people in any kind of organization that has the ability to solve this problem, let alone the other big problems of the world.

We have to build a new system that involves the people of the world, it's the only way to solve these problems, because governments don't have this ability.

So I guess I'm asking you if you can convince me that some person or government is going to solve this problem.

Big discussion here at home on your topic :) We got our thinking caps on. 
Some points I'd like to put forward. 

At this moment government, corporations and banking are one and the same thing. There is no separation of government and corporations, so your point of government not being able to influence monopolies and corporations is not valid. The people that are in government and those running the large corporations are at this moment interchangeable. How many people in government have a corporate or big money background? There is no wish for the government to control corporate influence, as they are one and the same. 

True democracy needs a separation of powers. Right now, there is no separation of power, only a HUGE conflict of interest! 'Regular' people are not being represented, as there are no candidates or political parties that are independent from these corporate funds. 

By definition, there is no democracy, as the candidates with the most money have the most power. This only proves that politics is not about putting forward good ideas, only about who can put up the biggest advertising campaign. 

To be truly rid of this system, we cannot tweak the current system, but need a complete tabulate rasa and implement a new one. 

An online opinion forum, even with voting and expertise, is still just a collection of opinions. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. To have any effect, these opinions need to become solid arguments for change. One can over time educate and convince others to affect what they will vote for, but as it stands, too much propaganda and trolling is intermingled to have any balanced effect on overall voting behavior. People are gullible and easily influenced by those who shout the loudest. What we need is not more opinions, but fact-based arguments to change overall views on our society and the way it is run.
