Bigger Than a State: The Hijacking of Democracy
You have just seen how the wealth of a single individual exceeds everything that millions of citizens produce in a year. This is not a mere statistical curiosity of a financial ranking; it is a direct danger to our sovereignty. When a single person possesses more economic power than an entire state, democracy is transformed into a de facto oligarchy.
They use this massive volume of capital to hijack political power, finance campaigns, dictate laws to suit their needs, and strangle nations through the trap of external debt. With the constant threat of taking their money elsewhere, they force governments to cut public services to protect their tax privileges. In the end, public institutions cease to respond to the needs of the majority and become hostages to the interests of a few.
