  yes that’s precisely what i implied, because they control it in the first place. companies like amazon are more powerful than nation states, and they exercise that power.

  And I’m trying to say that the state helping them was first.

  this has been the capitalist state’s modus operandi for more than 100-200 years. and the oligarch’s power precede it, they shaped it that way back then.

  Not really. Every month, year, decade is different.

  aaron schwartz was literally just a dude, not remotely comparable to oligarchs.

  He had the right ideas of how to solve one particular industry which is the spearhead of barbarism. And he somehow committed suicide in jail.

      the oligarchy as it currently stands precedes the capitalist state as we know it today. some of them even come from the very same families, like they are fucking kings (they are)

      I mean, these are terms with vague borders - oligarchy, feudalism, capitalism …

      About same families - I guess in France/Italy/Germany or in Japan maybe.

      and that’s nothing, if you consider feudalism lasted even longer

      Same problem. Arguably in Britain a lot of it still lasts, and in Germany.

      OK. So my point was specifically about modern regress and tech corporations. Not all of history.
