    I would say corporatocracy. Ever since Citizens United, corporations have been making more and more policy and political decisions, placing in power who they believe will advance their agendas of unlimited and never ending profit.

      Corporations are fiction of law.

      Owners are a few very wealthy individuals who abuse this fiction and the state against the pedon class.

      It is a class war and always has been.

        in war, both sides are aware they’re fighting. they’re both willing to fight. they’re both armed.

          Well then we got a generational genocide of the indigenous working populations

          The owners would rather bring in immigrants than create a country where people feel comfortable having families
