"More than 60% of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware, according to the state, including Alphabet, Amazon, CVS, and CNBC parent company Comcast. Delaware has cultivated a reputation as being business-friendly due to its tax law and unique court system specifically for corporate legal cases."

Reminded of Michael Parenti, an excerpt from his piece Mystery: How Wealth Creates Poverty, which highlights the lacuna of class consciousness cultivated under the technologically mediated auspices of global US empire: _"In their perpetual confusion, some liberal critics conclude that foreign aid and IMF and World Bank structural adjustments “do not work”; the end result is less self-sufficiency and more poverty for the recipient nations, they point out. Why then do the rich member states continue to fund the IMF and World Bank? Are their leaders just less intelligent than the critics who keep pointing out to them that their policies are having the opposite effect?_ _No, it is the critics who are stupid not the western leaders and investors who own so much of the world and enjoy such immense wealth and success. They pursue their aid and foreign loan programs because such programs do work. The question is, work for whom? Cui bono?_ _The purpose behind their investments, loans, and aid programs is not to uplift the masses in other countries. That is certainly not the business they are in. The purpose is to serve the interests of global capital accumulation, to take over the lands and local economies of Third World peoples, monopolize their markets, depress their wages, indenture their labor with enormous debts, privatize their public service sector, and prevent these nations from emerging as trade competitors by not allowing them a normal development._ _In these respects, investments, foreign loans, and structural adjustments work very well indeed._ _The real mystery is: why do some people find such an analysis to be so improbable, a “conspiratorial” imagining? Why are they skeptical that U.S. rulers knowingly and deliberately pursue such ruthless policies (suppress wages, rollback environmental protections, eliminate the public sector, cut human services) in the Third World? These rulers are pursuing much the same policies right here in our own country!_ _Isn’t it time that liberal critics stop thinking that the people who own so much of the world---and want to own it all---are “incompetent” or “misguided” or “failing to see the unintended consequences of their policies”? You are not being very smart when you think your enemies are not as smart as you. They know where their interests lie, and so should we."_

By definition organizing society into these two opposing classes, hollowing out anything and everything including all social meaning/trust to be sold for profit in order to sustain the "full spectrum domination" of the global capitalist class (transnational corporate/finance capital) at quite literally all other costs (like, say, _literally_ destroying the planet). _The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."_ - some guy, a bit optimistic at the end we wouldn't just choose individual delusion while the planet literally burns around us...

@@tegusentertainment8021I’m so glad that people are actually waking up to the truth of it all. Do not be afraid to speak out! You are very much right. The sweatshops are not meant to benefit the locals. But to exploit them. What’s funny is you will usually find Americans online demonizing the sweatshops in China, while their country is making their own. I believe this will happen soon to my country as well. The hotels are majority of the time “all inclusive” they do not have to interact with locals.. locals regularly get shooed away. It’s terrible. And the way they treat locals wanting to stay at these places? if I speak… then they complain that locals do not give them business.

@@tegusentertainment8021I’m from Honduras also and this is the first I’ve heard of this. It definitely needs to be given a bigger platform in and outside of Honduras.

Trumps favorite bank...it figures.

The US had nothing to do with passing the ZEDE law, and the government has no interest in the ZEDEs except to use them for political points.

Its German- home of Nazism. What do you expect?

We have compounds in America where the landowner has a bunch of buildings with immigrants living in them and the locked gate in front keeps it for these from coming in we need to stop this in America too

The Transatlantic Trade talks between EU and United States ( TTIP) fell over because the Americans were pushing for investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) which would expand the ability of corporations to sue governments in international tribunals, demanding billions in taxpayer compensation if investee counties' implemented public interest policies that would limit corporate profits.American politicians don't hide that they have been bought by lobbyist donations.

As long as there has been White Supremacy…there was never a democracy. Just anti Black privileged White people doing what ever they want and making every one else play by some laws they never follow

WS made it an illusion in real-time. Democracy is only in movies.

The United States has always been in favor of dictatorships. It was literally founded on slavery. We still have millions of constitutionally enslaved people in private prisons for profit. We still have second class citizens (Indigienous Americans, Puerto Ricans, Hawaiians, immigrants). This country has overthrown democracies in favor of or dictatorships and enslavement time and time again. Banana Republic all over again... very sad

I'd be curious to see what the murder rate is in these cities vs the rest of the country.

@@rexmann1984 The ZEDE Ciudad Morazán is an oasis of safety in Choloma, one of the murder capitals of the world. It is so safe the children play in the street day and night, which is unheard of in the rest of the country. BTW, 98% of the population is Honduran, not "rich foreigners."
