For all the people talking about Capitalism in this subthread, as it relates to corporations and mega-accruals of power, you might be interested in Continuum. It's a tv show from Canada on the Showcase channel. Terrifying portrayal of corporations assuming absolute control.

I usually just watch the evening news for that one. Ha. Ha.

No, seriously, thanks for the link, I'll give it a try should I feel the need for some show to watch arise.

It's probably just propaganda suggesting that rulers are necessary and beneficial to us, because without them we'd be oppressed by evul corporations!! (.. which would be.. worse than being oppressed by Hitler or Stalin?)

Look, not everyone who doubts that "more capitalism" is the solution to the world's problems is Hitler, wants Hitler or thinks rulers are a good and necessary thing in general. Rulers have a pretty crappy track record when it comes to being beneficial. The thing is, so do corporations as soon as being beneficial isn't an immediate part of making a profit.
