#Democracy is incompatible with unrestrained #capitalism. #Monopolies powered the #Nazi war machine 85 years ago.

General public knows that #CorporatePower is a big, rising, and terrifying problem. But regulators don't seem to know what corporate power is.

On #antitrust, the #EU buckled to #US under both #GeorgeBush (#Microsoft breakup) and #GeorgeWBush (#GE #Honeywell merger).

Now a new revolt against monopolization is brewing in #Europe.

Elect Democrats to stop MAGA, but don’t surrender progressive accountability. Jeffries’ rejection of Medicare-for-All raises a serious question about who should lead the House.

Ah, another utopian tech dream built on the delusion that #decentralization will solve all of humanity's woes. 😴 Let's all pretend that a "scalable architecture" of acronym soup will somehow outsmart the evil corporations and governments. 🥱 Spoiler alert: it won't.

Bottom line, intelligence, diplomacy and market data converge in a single decision point. That fusion is the actual source of IHC power, not its balance sheet.

History remembers the inventor with the patent, the money and the institution behind them—not always the person who got there first.

From Edison and RCA to Colossus, Margaret Knight and the Invention Secrecy Act, this is how genius gets captured, commercialised and rewritten.

While the world sees a tech brand, South Korea sees its entire economic engine. Generating roughly 23% of the nation's GDP, Samsung builds the skyscrapers citizens live in, operates the hospitals they visit, and drives the export pipeline powering the entire country.

CounterPunch.org | A Hard Reset for Corporate Power by David S. D’Amato

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

In “A Hard Reset for Corporate Power,” David S. D’Amato explains how Hawaii’s recent law — which prohibits corporations from spending money to influence elections by redefining corporate charters — is part of a broader “Corporate Power Reset” movement that seeks to dismantle the state‑created privileges that enable corporate dominance. He argues that corporations are not natural market actors but legal fictions granted special rights by the state, and that this intertwined state‑capital relationship underlies systemic inequality, political capture, and the erosion of democratic accountability. By rewiring corporate statutes rather than merely regulating campaign finance, the movement aims to expose and confront the deeper structural power of the corporate economy, challenging the notion that corporate influence is a separate, “private” sphere and urging a fundamental reevaluation of how economic and political power are co‑produced.

Follow-up to my piece on the Monsanto playbook.

Most common response in the comments: "Nobody forced farmers to use the products. Farmer's choice."

Yes, the contract was signed freely. In the same way, nobody forced anyone to sign a subprime mortgage in 2006. The system that made the alternative impossible was built deliberately.

New piece covers:

The agricultural treadmill (Cochrane, 1958): early adopters gain a temporary cost advantage; commodity prices fall as adoption spreads; the advantage disappears; and survivors consolidate. Rinse, repeat. The consistent winner in this dynamic is the technology vendor.

The risk transfer: when the system fails, the input companies still profit. The banks still collect. The downside concentrates where the power doesn't.

And the third squeeze: the precision ag platform that owns your field data when you leave.
