Because it is only globalism, for large international corporations. And the governments that serve them
@Dshhh Yep. Global mobility for American capital in particular.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow International Capitol, don’t leave out Germany Japan and of course Britain. Big money has no nationality
@Dshhh I mean sure. But what is left of those are small potatoes and most are now subsidiaries of American corporations like the British and German arms industries.

You might find it interesting to look deeper into especially the British financial system. Consider something called the city of London. It is not actually the big city we know but a small block of businesses who along with American interests are part of the global network were discussing and yes the arms industry is only the tip of it consider Royal Dutch Shell in British petroleum
@Dshhh I know what all of that is. Leftovers of a dead empire. But for example a single US company Blackrock has more in assets that 3x the entire UK GDP 10 trillion vs the 3 trillion of all of the UK economy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Families with BlackRock, and State Street, and Vanguard capital.
And if you look at the individual relationships between the people who run those and other companies you’ll find that it’s a very small number of people that are in charge of all of these industries like aunt Heavy. My point is it is not US capital it is not British capital capital is now an international operation in and of itself.
They are Trans National
