#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.

The #Enshittification of the American Hamburger
China blocked Argentinian beef for chloramphenicol, Europe blocked Brazilian beef for food safety reasons, and now Trump is importing it all to the US. But don't expect prices to fall much, the monopoly distributers will pocket the savings.Matt Stoler is my favorite blogger.

The idea that the gross over investment in technology is the solution to all our problems, is delusional on the grandest scale of delusions!
Also used as an argument to secure its boom is that new technology like Ai and AGi is inevitable and necessary to obtain a competitive advantage.
What is not much advertised, discussed, challenged and acted on are the current social, environmental, political and economic costs of the deregulated markets responsible for pushing the MAD investments of and in the technology of antitrust monopolies. They continue to undermine the benefits that result from democratic mediation, rights of diverse interests, peace, security, wellbeing and the flourishing that you get with ending the growth in inequality and injustice that their corporate sovereignty profits from! #Philosophy #Technology #ai #AGi #deregulation #Markets #MAD #antitrust #monopolies #corporatesovereignty #Delusions

”Fromm asserts, then ‘this lag makes freedom an unbearable burden’. It is this freedom from bonds which, according to Fromm, leads to a desire for submission. Authoritarianism constitutes a regressive attempt to resolve the tension between a threatening outside world and a precarious self.”
3/3
Fromm/Adorno/Horkheimer’s post-#fascism analysis from 1950’s sounds eerily similar.
Too similar for comfort. It is happening again.
