We all know or have come to understand that money rules democracy.
But the question is.
Has this money come to rule politics
I.E. The might of the purse over the voter.
In this age of Social media and coming AI algorithms the answer has to be YES.
Money has and always and will always rule the world. It has been with us since man started bartering, bribed, gifts and favours in exchange for personal gain.
For lack of a better word it’s called corruption.
It can occur in both public and private sectors and takes many forms, from bribery and embezzlement to nepotism and fraud.
However its worst and most damaging and dangerous form is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.
It has now been diluted into the word Manipulation which is defined as the use of strategies to further personal driven goals at the expense of others.
Tariffs.
These are corruption in the world markets but not so if practices by MR TRUMP and his friends with insider trading, influence stocks in a company and either quickly buys or gets rid of large amounts of stocks before the consequences arising from this information come to pass.
Call it what you want.
The idea that corruption is not isolated, sporadic or transactional, but part of a system perpetrated through a network of multiple individuals, functioning according to informal rules and practices, with the purpose beyond individual private gain – for instance to secure political or economic goals – like winning .
Cannot be compared to Petty corruption which is everywhere like kickbacks in the Middle East, as baksheesh in Africa both common form of corruption.
Some of these practices are encouraged by government in order to substances wages and are called extortion rather than corruption.
A typical example of extortion would be when armed police or military men exact money for passage through a roadblock.
These forms for corruption for-all intentive purposes minor to bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, extortion, blackmail and money laundering,
Replacing many of these forms we now have AI scams by the thousands.
How can we clean up the world of corruption.
The first thing to do is to make it a crime to donate to political parties, individuals in public office, for private gain.
The next is to make all financial transactions transparent.
If not below is what you can expect.
Will anything like this happen.
Not in my life time. While money makes the world go around the oiling of one hand will exist on one form or the other.
As to the political world.
In Europe yes it could be made happen with laws and proportional representation.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
