Not allowed by who to collapse? Corporations only exist because the nation state says they do, and the nation state only exists because the people collectively acknowledge that it does.
Billionaire class seems, isolated for decades in their bubbles, seem to have convinced themselves that their power and wealth exist independent of little things like governments and peasants, and yeah that may seem true because they currently have total control over the state.
But if they really actually do end up causing the nation-state to collapse (which they seem to be trying to do) they’ll find out pretty quickly how wrong they are.
Hopefully something better will rise in it’s place but I kind of find a little solace knowing the billionaires and their minions aren’t going to live to see it.
I think they all know how this kind of thing ends, they just all think they’re clever enough to grab what they can and get out with their loot right before it’s too late.
