Late Stage Capitalism

The CEOs are often just low level lords that get a small percentage of the legal murder they oversee for profit.

The meaningful shareholders know their money is bloodstained, and order the CEOs to do what they do, but don't dirty their hands with the day to day murders, too busy mega yachting.

REMINDER: there are less than 3,000 billionaires on Earth, there are only about 28,000 hundred million plus-inaires on Earth.

They are the greed disease we the billions of humans on earth subsist to serve. CEOs are often merely their top livestock generals, the ones they appoint as their proxies to do their legal murders for them while they live lives of abject gluttony while declaring themselves the hardest workers merely for making broadly cruel dictates into their cell phones from their guard gated world for others like their CEOs to enact.

Don't mistake any of this for publicly traded CEO pity, class traitors or nepo babies one and all, but the CEOs who arent also the meaningful shareholders are Vaders, not Palpatines.

At this late stage it is.

Yeah sort of, in the sense of the classes being so far apart. And nepotism hires can feel like hereditary rule.

But companies don't generally go to war with each other. The comparison falls apart if you think about it too hard.
