Interesting, thanks for your reply. By 'redistribution of favors', you mean domestically?
Historically yes, but the reality now is corporations and political donors are now intertwined with both domestic and foreign influences. Money is being given out as favors, and those favors are in return laundered as donations, often indirectly, to political campaigns and the cycle repeats. Dollars are not a zero sum game, even the value they represent is arcane and nebulous even if it’s backed by physical goods and services.
Is it possible for foreign countries to eventually unionize and rebel?
This would be a real concern, so disinformation and other campaigns are waged to sow divisions and create upheaval just like is being waged in the US right now by powers both foreign and domestic. Just like I don’t have much hope of people here working together anytime soon, I don’t think it’s going to happen with so many players. Who knows though; there could always be some catalyzing event to promote unity.
