Single-person states | An opinion by Mariano Gistain

Single-person states | An opinion by Mariano Gistain

Billionaires function as agile states, one-person states. Elon Musk chats with Putin and supports Trumpguilty of a lot of crimes in the USA and candidate for his second term. trump He is immune, according to law dictated by judges he appointed. Elon Musk has earned $330 billion in one day as Tesla shares rise. The people who drive their cars are brand evangelists. Musk manages satellites and launches rockets for NASA. Boeing fails in its planes and space shuttles and Musk’s rockets work and do incredible things: vertical descent and even giant clamps catch the rocket so that it does not have to rest or fall into the sea. Everything is amazing. A few have exploded before, he takes it as a lesson and continues. He wanted to make a train in a tube, he let it be, nothing happens.

Billionaires who can do more than the states. Musk has more influence than the Pope.

Every day there are more homeless people everywhere. In California, in Spain. own IMF suggests that more taxes be imposed on the rich and companies. But if it is done they both fly. And the practice gives a bad name among global investors, who put a stake in those countries.

It is raining more than ever, after last year’s drought the reservoirs are overflowing and the floods are lethal, We thought there were only tornadoes and hurricanes in the USA and they have comethe sea is burning. There are several fronts with problems of success, such as high-speed trains in Spain. From that Hail to Mecca It is no longer talked about (only about commissions), but it works. It’s going full speed. And it has glasses invented ad hoc for the desert.

There are more poor people than ever in paradise. And working. A teenager has committed suicide after an intense relationship with a chatbot. Children are educated watching porn although the news appears intermittently, it is not a fixed topic. One news follows another. A thousand pieces of news overwhelm a thousand others and this minute has not yet passed.

Putin, who chats with Musk according to WSJ, has held a summit of the BRICS, the alternative world to the current empire, the empire is still alive. Everyone has two allies from different sides: with China and with the USA, with Israel and with the Arab countries, etc. The blocks fluctuate. The China Russia Korea Iran axis… does not prevent China from also going its own way. It is already so powerful as to maintain two or five faces: in one it is an ally of Putin, in another it participates or leads in the BRICS; In another, she goes alone buying continents, meanders, sea ports and selling everything, generators. He could invade Taiwan without firing a bullet. Maybe he is doing it. China finds it difficult to implement its soft power (except in bars), or perhaps it is that he has already inseminated us with such subtlety that we do not realize it. We need to adore their brands as we once adored ours. But perhaps that already happens: children are almost all TikTokers. There is a future educated in porn and Tiktok. And Chinese online stores are within millions of hearts and visas.

In general, the struggle between dictatorship and democracy continues. Two systems within financial capitalism: a single faith with its divisions. It could be assimilated to the Protestant Reformation that split Christianity in two or to the binomial that pits Shiites against Sunnis among Muslims. What is indisputable is capitalism. No more pretending. And within it two systems struggle. lDictatorships – except China – pretend to be democracies, adopt their terminology and appearances, but if you raise your voice they will shoot you. Some democracies are approaching the methods of dictatorships step by step. The famous Nobel Prize-winning scheme of Why Countries Fail, Institutions Abducted, Corrupt, Useless. Also in this there is a gray area where hyperrealities converge. There are already cracked countries that do not have electricity, like Cuba. More or less declared narco-states and other mixed ones, where democracy coexists with narcos, which also configure global power in alliances and in trade.

Trillionaires, due to the magnitude of their businesses, cannot relate/negotiate with only one side (the sides are mixed, there is a gray area), so they function as one-person states endowed with more power, more resources and fewer limitations than traditional ones. Musk has had to give something up with X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil.

These personal states function as dictatorships only subject, and not always, to the vagaries of the markets. The One-Person States of the West behave like dictatorships. In dictatorships, billionaires cannot prosper, they cannot reach the level of one-person states.

Globalization, which has given way – and has diversified – in trade due to geostrategy, tariffs and sanctions, is growing in other circuits, sectors, shadows. AND expands through megabillionaires that manage the sky, space and data.
