The reality is that Big Corporations and Big Governments need each other.

In the 20th century, due to the success of the Progressive Movement, we saw the rise of things like publicly traded corporations, central banking, and administrative states.

It is the banking cartels and regulators that are the "king makers".

When the Federal Reserve, which is literally a banking cartel in every sense of the word, goes out and "prints" trillions of dollars... Were do you think that money goes?

Well it goes into the banks that own the Federal Reserve first. Then it starts to go into large institutional investors and the like, which then ends up in the stock market.

Things like this could not possibly exist without major government intervention.

This is all done very much on purpose.

One of the major beliefs of the Progressive Movement was that having squabbling small and medium businesses was inefficient and created a "race to the bottom" mentality. They felt to compete with Europe we needed these gigantic businesses that controlled all aspects of major industries in the USA.

So that is what they set out to do.

You see the oligarchs have always been here. They have been in and out of government since the beginning. They don't like competition. They don't like not being in control.

So as a result we have things like Central Banking and highly regulated public corporations and administrative states.

Prior to 20th century we had maybe 3 or 4 major Federal administrations. Now we have well over 400.

The administrative state needs public corporations. This is how they are able to regulate and control industries in the USA and most other countries.

The idea that government is needed to counter business greed or business monopolies is something that only began around the 1930s or so. It was a lie then and it is a lie now.

There is a reason why 'The New Deal' is a type of Corporatism.

The bigger the government the more power to the big corporations. And visa versa.
