“You say multinational corporations and their owners dominate the world; others say it is states, other say it is ideology, others say it is the Zionists. It is more complex, and there are many more elements to the situation than you acknowledge.”
In fact, it is not so inscrutable as you imply. There are many factors that influence and contribute to what policy is, and how it is carried out; but contemplating these factors distracts from the central question of “who” is dominating. Answering that question is simple; just ask another question, which is rendered rhetorical by the obviousness of its answer: “who has the most power?”
You can follow this with another similarly rhetorical question: “who has consistently benefited from policy?”
The answer to both questions, without even a millisecond of deliberation required, is: multinational corporations and their owners.
If you answered “the United States”, then you are simply regurgitating an outdated concept, unless by “the United States” you mean the tiny segment of the American population that exerts influence over policy and reaps the benefits of it; because I can assure you, the general public enjoy extremely few privileges as citizens of the world’s super power.
Corporations dominate the political process in the United States, they control the legislative branch of the government, and the combined wealth of America’s 2,500 billionaires far exceeds the US federal budget.
If you want to debate about ideologies, feel free; but this will always be mere conjecture that is often disproved very easily by simply observing the consistency of policy in ideologically divers regions.
You can talk about Zionists, but, again, this is little more than an assumption with very sparse evidence to support it.
But either way, the crux of the issue is to recognize where actual power lies. The reasons they use their power the way they do, ok, you can ponder whatever motives you like; but the reality of who HAS the power is simply not open to debate.
