I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation?

I’m not following. You’d be ok with risking beheading to overthrow a monarch. But you won’t overthrow a corporate CEO?

You think corporations don’t exist under monarchy?

I feel like it's more about distribution of responsibility. If you have a king, he's either a good king and runs things well, or a bad king and runs things poorly. A King's success is generally measured by the quality of his kingdom, which is at least somewhat tied to the wellbeing of subjects.

In a corporation, even if you have a comparitively "good" CEO, he's still answerable to the shareholders, and thus obligated to raise the stock value by any means necessary, a factor which is not necessarily dependent on the wellbeing of his employees.
no, I don't. They have far more complex structures. Just because you remove a CEO, does not mean the whole company will go away. How many CEOs have been fired and replaced? Plenty. These companies still remain though, corrupting everything around them.
- I will say I'm the UK we still have a king that we couldn't physically overthrow although we could possibly remove them constitutionally if the democracy aligned in that direction. However we do still have amazon here.
  
  I think the difference between UK and US for workers rights comes from how we treat lobbying differently.
- Yeah, but the point is that corporations still exist and rule in most monarchies at this very moment. You would just be adding an extra layer of something to overthrow.
- How many monarchs have been replaced? Plenty. Just think of anchient Egypt.

jeff bezos is a monarch. he has an empire with people doing literal slave-work and practically untouchable by the judicial system. if you are not willing to overthrow him now, you won't be willing to overthrow a "literal" monarch. same goes for every billionaire.

as there are middlemen protecting the billionaires now -like mass media, military industrial complex, heavily armed local police, union busters, corrupt judicial system etc.- there will be middlemen protecting the monarch then.

you think you would be willing to overthrow the monarch because it's not real, a fantasy. but you're willingly turning a blind eye to the exact same thing that is real and happening right now.

except if you overthrow bezos, other billionaires will just take his place, put the insurgeants (is this a word?) in prison and the system persists
- You don't overthrow people, you overthrow systems

What makes you think a monarchy would do anything to combat a corpo hellscape? If history's any indication, they'd probably make all the CEOs lords and turn everybody else into an indentured peasantry.

We're so close lol... for now

A company is much easier to crash than a monarch or government. A government will lock you up or kill you for planning to overthrow them.

how do you crash amazon?
- Don't buy anything from Amazon. Convince others to join your cause.

Same way you overthrow a king. Without exaggeration or sarcasm, we can’t really discuss those methods civilly, but history can always repeat itself.

It would be far easier to start a populist movement that reigned in corporations. The problem with revolutions is you never know who's going to to end up on top at the end. Most likely the new regime will be just as bad as the old. I think what we actually need is more democracy. I like the idea of a democratic referendum that allows the people to force the government into action.

Regulations? Idk what you think the world is lol

What if the people who make and enforce the regulations are the very same people who run these corporations?
- But they are not

Man you would love NRx-type thinking and people like Mencius Moldbug if you’re interested in this line of thought.

I think a lot of people here have a weird understanding of monarchy and revolutions.

When the entirety of your experience with monarchies and revolutions is a line in a history textbook, it seems a lot easier and less painful than it is.

Same - monarchy’s flaw is that it’s clear who is in charge and who can be (ultimately) blamed. The same thing is simultaneously it’s advantage - it’s honest. For fans of voting - you can have elected monarchy as was a case with few countries ;)

Not really, or do you think, that all those child monarchs in anchient times were actually ruling?
