    Great points. And similarly with the East India Company, those multinationals sit above states. This time it’s not just one—Britain (or the Netherlands, e.g. with the Dutch EIC)—it’s all of them. With BlackRock and Vanguard near the top. With maybe <20 exceptions.

    Saying that, it suggests that if there is anything like a global government, it’s comprised of a handful of billionaires and their most loyal servants. If a state doesn’t do what they say, they’ll arrange for you to be sanctioned, bombed, couped, etc.
