I am a bit shocked that all those people downvoting me apparently do not understand a simple fact: democracies give the power to decide over the distribution of wealth and the justification for “taking a fair share” to the majority; that’s how votes work; democracies justify taking 80% of tax from 20% of population by popular opinion that “high incomes should pay greater shares because it is fair”; so how exactly does your exploitation Marx stuff work at scale - unless your system is corrupted and non-democratic; but why do you blame THAT on a single company?

I agree with your assessment of the nature and consequences of a well-functioning democracy. I think it self evident that ours (USA) is not working especially well, particular with regard to resisting corruption. On the other hand, I'm not sure anyone has blamed this on a single company?

Yes, fair comment on my downvote rant.
I should have put it differently: for those who disagree: please tell me how I’m wrong - so at least I can learn something from it
