i've spent the past hour or so trying to figure out what comes after plutocracy. oligarchy is contained within plutocracy...but what's next? back in the day it was Revolution.
what's astonishing to me about this is...well everything. i had a bad bad feeling when i read about this case being accepted. folk at the time were allowing themselves to speculate about this becoming a legal referendum on the notion of corporate personhood. and i suppose in a way it is, just not as those folk had expected or hoped.
i would hope that there is a legislative response to this, some move to draft new law that redefines the game and removes some of the overwhelming power that the supreme court just handed the corporate oligarchy (as if they did not already have enough power in the context of the fading american empire)...
criminy...
