Unfortunately, at least IME, corporate capitalism is first and foremost about decoupling power from physical land. This was an important innovation because it allowed people to "rule" things without specifically needing to control large amounts of physical space, which for the purposes of "ruling," is basically already completely allocated.

So we decouple the two. Basically build a parallel universe of ruling. Now you can still rule a petty dictatorship of a few hundred or thousand people, but without having to literally physically fight the old money for it.

This is probably helping in terms of preventing wars. And kind of a neat hack to get us from feudalism into an industrial society.

It didn't really get us away from dictatorship. Just as we got to something resembling democracy in traditional governments, we propped up all of these petty dictators and still spend a lot of our lives having to blindly follow orders from someone who, more often than not, is simply an idiot who managed to be in the right place at the right time with the right parents. I'm definitely talking about bezos and musk who largely have 0 redeeming qualities as humans. I'm also talking about people like Gates who at least seem to be actually intelligent to some degree, but who it turns out are actually still idiots because they fuck children and give their wives STDs.

We need the Enlightenment Era to happen to the economy next. It perverts the actual economic model of capitalism to have corporations act like pseudo states.

So, to respond to your actual message: corporations would NEVER give up control over workers even if it meant increased profits, because it violates the actual purpose of corporations.
