You are literally complaining about the power that private banks have because they have so much control over the economy...and yes this is a tremendous power that is totally unaccountable, because they arent part of the official 'government'.

That immediately proves that your attitude toward power is just false. Think about it. In order to make private bankers accountable, you would need to make them part of the government.

And without that, bankers can literally have superior power than the government itself...so your 'egalitarianism' simply results in the people being too weak to organize any resistance against private power...you see?

Jews became wealthy and somewhat powerful thanks to their having exclusive control over moneylending, forbidden to christians. But in the middle ages this wasnt all that big a deal...because the repayment of debts to jews was basically 'optional' among nobles. They usually would for the sake of stability...but whenever they wanted a noble could jsut tell a jew to buzz off and his debt will not be paid....and that did happen now and then.

in our modern culture the whole concept of nobility has been eliminated, so money is king. any government that doesnt fully control the central bank is only pretending to be a government.
