the human civilization didn't change much conceptually

It dawns upon me that there are some similarities between the age old feudal system once adopted in ancient civilizations i.e. the dark ages civilizations, the chinese dynasties, and etc.

As much as we evolved from the times of kings, rulers, emperors, ditactor to people power, capitalism still emerge as the champion. My perception might be narrowed, but thats how i felt as the drone in the corporate earth.

If you ask me , whether America is the most powerful nation in the world, I would answer that corporate America is most powerful of all. Look around you, unknowningly, almost every country is invaded by corporate America. Mc Donalds, Starbucks, Walmarts, Microsoft, ....and the list goes on. The most practiced ideology, democracy is fueled by corporate donations, or people once from the corporate world.

In comparison, kings, rulers, emperors are like the Chairman of the company, some of them CEOs. Then they have the board of directors, are like the Lords and Dukes. The corporate raiders , sales and marketing are like the knights and generals which lead a bunch of workers , soldiers. In the end, they are controlling the country. The marketing influences us into leading the lifestyle they want us to be, buying things they sell. They have their presense in almost every household.

Mergers and Aquisitions are like kingdoms invading each other. Wars will be like price war, i.e. Apple vs PC.

The structure is the same, the CEO and the Board of directors decides on the company policy, similar to the King and Lords, who decides the law.

What about us ? we work for the corporate, we generate $$$$ but get paid $.

Just an insight, indeed there are flaws in this insight....but then its a interesting thought, I think.

Men will always be lead by FEAR and GREED. well..generally with some exceptions.

Leaders uses FEAR and GREED to control. Ponder.

So to be indeed free...overcome FEAR and GREED.
