FLUFFYGERM posted... well yeah that's what i meant when i said they'd tank the economy (and their own net worth) if they tried to move what they can move. if jeff bezos tried to sell everything so he could acquire a personal army and his own country, the value of his money and the economy as a whole would collapse before he could do anything more realistically he could use amazon stock to pay for the aquisition of a PMC that is how corporate takeovers are done. stock would transfer to shareholders. you don't have to convert stock to cash to use it to buy shit even land can be bought that way if you buy a company that owns a ton of land buying a country is another story though. nah that much amazon stock moving for such an acquisition would be noticed and flagged before it was allowed to happen lol in other words, the idea that these wealthiest people could acquire countries/absolute power because of how much money they have is just naive --- but Marxist theory is extremely consistent, both internally and with reality. -averagejeol <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:894643610] in The 3 Rich...
