Showing Original Post only (View all)Is Exxon a nation? [View all]
A nation is a group of people so I dont think Exxon qualifies as a nation, but IMO, they are definitely a strong, independent sovereignty.
Exxon has to be one of the most powerful entities in the world. They are not a USofA company, but an entity all of their own. They have zero allegiance to the USofA. They use our countrys resources, infrastructure and military, and not only dont pay for it, WE PAY them. We give them corporate welfare. We cover their risks while they keep the rewards. They are so powerful they have literally purchased some control of our government and have given themselves very large subsidies. But you wont hear anything bad about Exxon in the corp-media. Exxon pays the media large sums of money for advertising and/or share the same people on Boards of Directors with the large media corporations. The advertising money yields favorable treatment from the media.
It looks to me like globalization means the formation or creation of corporate sovereignty's.
