[Marxism] If you want to identify the ruling class, you have to decide what is a social class.

[S. Artesian]

What?  Corporations are not golems, molochs, Frankeinsteins, or ghosts in a 
machine.  They are purposeful organizations created, owned, run, directed by 
human beings to make money.  If you don't think those who run corporations, 
chairmen and ceos of businesses like Exxon, Halliburton, Goldman Sachs, JP 
Morgan Chase actually meet and discuss what they want the government to do 
and when, you are not keeping up on the news.

They, these personified corporate types, are the corporate rules.  They 
don't always agree on every detail, but the great thing about being in the 
ruling class is-- you don't have to agree to get what you want, or at least 
what you need.
