It is no accident that the explosive rise of mutual funds coincided with the Clintonistas rise to power. Direct ownership of stocks meant stockholders could vote on the running of their companies. The mutual funds separated the owners of the means of production from their property by putting up a wall run by a socialist corporate class that maintains an incestuous relationship with each other. They have learned what Hitler and the Nazis as well as fascists understood. It is not the ownership of capital that counts, what counts is who controls it.

Devoid of any national loyalty with corporations being owned by transnational entities run by a transnational corporate class none of these companies feel they should be loyal to anyone but themselves.

It is an elite class which contributes large amounts of money to the political parties in their respective countries. Most western governments are already bought and paid for. No matter who is in power they will put forth policies to insure their growing control.

They delude themselves into thinking that they will always be in control. They are sorely mistaken, of such stuff revolutions and upheavals are made.

At some point, the anti Western powers will stop pretending to be going along with globalism and there will be war. It will be a slaughter, because the West will have pared military power down to low levels, and the West will be undermined economically and culturally by the globalist system. Therefore, I must conclude that the Westerners who are "elites" in this system are only pawns in the game. Once the objectives of taking the West's wealth and technology, and making the West supply-chain-dependent on anti Western states have been accomplished, the charade of global economism will be dropped by our enemies, and we'll be quickly reminded how nationalism, applied against us, is a potent force to reckon with. Thomas L. Friedman is a buffoon and a snake oil salesmen, and Francis Fukuyama is an infantile teller of tall tales. If it was not such a tragedy, it would be a joke.
