Who would’ve guessed that private corporations given absolute political authority would exploit and torment everything they owned? It worked out so well in india! nah but fr, having a state who’s fundamental goal is self interest and profit at the expense of the people is destined to be terrible.
@@heavyarms55The USA is far beyond that path lol. Nobody in previous centuries before the formation of the Republic conceived of something like this being possible because nothing like this existed before to this extent. They could have looked to Italian City States for reference but may have not have had as much knowledge of them or worse saw them as role-models. The Florentine Republic controlled by bankers. The Venetian or Genoneese Republic controlled by trade moguls. The Greek City States or Roman Era City States were actually nothing like this lol. With the exception of Corinth and Carthage city states were not founded to promote oligarchic corpratoracies or banking empires🤣. They were founded as to protect rights of the people and create bubble of safety for communal values based around civic duty to prosper. Of course the founding fathers at the time had no way of knowing this.
@@heavyarms55 it's already way too into it(not just the USA but the world). Market race for products are an illusion when all brands are owned by the same Corp. This includes as of now from food produce to luxury hideous clothing everything. Aside from local small buisness every other bigger company is but a step of the ladder and at the top you'll get to the same roof no matter what ladder you start to climb on.
Boy I sure do think this very fictional thing of corporations having completely unchecked power and the ability to do whatever they want is awful. Imagine how bad living in a society where everything is dictated by big corporations and their needs for profit instead of what would be good for society overall. Thank the Force the real world has nothing like that at all and that things like this are purely fictional.
It's also a tired trope. What I would do so to make a truly benevolent corpo and even a government in my own works, whilst lambasting the increasingly anarchist and sinful civvie population...
@@Arauto_Kagnos Let's just say we need less cynical, more optimistic even if still combative fiction.

@michaelandreipalon359 if you wanna write a story about a benevolent corporation that rules over people and the people are unjustly revolting against that then you're not being optimistic, you're just being naive about what corporations actually do at best. At worst, you're part of what's wrong with current society. Such a story these days would be the most tone-deaf thing to come out in a time where corporations are actively making everything shittier in order to raise their profit margins at the expense of everyone who isn't at the top.
@@Arauto_Kagnos It may not be digestible now, but over time, it may somehow age too well, the same way Moby Dick and War of the Worlds resonated after the unthinkable World Wars.

I do appreciate that, every once in awhile, Star Wars gets *delightfully cyberpunk* with details like the Corpsec, corporations taking senate seats in the prequels, and a bunch of coruscant's aesthetic in Attack of the Clones.
The Han Solo books by Brian Daley are some of my personal favorite EU stories. They're no literary masterpieces by any stretch of the imagination, but they're filled to the brim with pulpy, freewheeling space adventure goodness. They also introduced so much lore that would influence future works to a surprising degree in both Legends and Canon. I've always felt that the CSA has been underutilized as villains, with most works being content to stick to the usual suspects of the Empire/CIS/Sith. We got a small taste of what it could be like with the Preox-Morlana corporation in Andor, but the CSA's genocidal "profits before EVERYTHING" policies makes them look positively benign by comparison.
@@Hello-bi1pmThey don't wanna draw unsightly comparisons that could threaten their profits lol. Buying out Star Wars is like buying out a hard hitting news station, website, or newspaper that consistently makes you and your friends look bad.😂
Agree. The CSA is one of my favorite minor villain factions of the EU and it was kinda disappointing that after their initial introduction, they were rarely used in anything afterward. They could've been a nice break from the old "Imperial of the week" stories. Daley did make the CSA as a stand in for the Empire.
Didn't expect to see someone referencing Parenti, but I'm certainly not disappointed. Based reference, Parenti is one of a few decent intellectuals to come out of American politics
THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT! Honestly the CSA might be a very cool place for an adventure arc in the pre TPM Republic given the corruption of the period.
Between the privatized regime, essentially serving as an extractive resource colony in which large swathes of territory are governed by monopolistic corporations, and extensive human rights abuses, the CSA sounds a lot like Star Wars' version of the Congo Free State.
I do cover canon stuff, but I don't usually mix it unless the point is specific comparison, but while the Corporate Sector does exist the PreMor stuff in Andor wasn't the CSA, it was a separate thing- it's actually Acolyte that mentions the Corporate Sector.
The Corporate Sector Authority is my favorite piece of extended lore to the Star Wars galaxy. Especially with the expansions to its significance throughout the clone wars era.
I think a story, whether a game, movie, shoe etc, set in the CSA could be a very interesting thing for Star Wars to do. It’s dabbled with cyberpunk elements, but a story that fully embraces it could really work. Also, it’d be a breath of fresh air for the series. Hopefully they do it one day as movies like solo and rogue one have expanded the type of stories Star Wars has told.
If palpatine had bothered to keep up the “benevolent grandfather” figure to the galaxy, there straight up wouldnt have been any revolts of substance. Like, you have absolute power my guy, you don’t need to make life a living hell for everyone else

It's funny that star wars has robots that have no rights, can be mind wiped, and can work better and longer than organics. But the cooperations are like no we want to be as shitty and comically evil as possible.
Wait, the CSA was founded 500 years before the Old Sith Wars, *inside* the Sith Empire, and survived as a independent entity for the entirety of the next 1500 years?
There had been colonies there and then the Republic discovered them in 4500ish. It's also near but not within Sith space. The first attempt at the Corporate Sector being anything from the Republic was in 500 BBY, and the CSA as a political entity wasn't until the Empire
Corey, I'm so glad u aren't part of this current yt drama. I'm basically sticking to channels where I don't have to listen to ppls dirty laundry, and I'm glad yours is one of them❤
A source for what though? The Theory video takes the premise that the petition was written by Mollie (which it wasn't) and called for him to get demonetized (which it didn't) with the argument that it's because of people being jealous of them. He then spends the whole video talking about DMs from Alex, which are quite frankly fine? Maybe trying a little too hard to clarify he's not mad about the ad because he's approaching a guy he doesn't know yet? And who's involved by virtue of being Mollie's husband rather than ever having said or done anything with the petition or about Theory, and EckhartsLadder, who wasn't involved in anything either, by virtue of him being friends with Alex and Mollie- even though Theory opens the video talking about how he shouldn't be responsible for his friends "spicier" takes as he puts it, with them being much more inflammatory than just repeating "I'm really not made about the ads." The reason I haven't said anything isn't because I lack a position. I know many of the people involved. I have responded in comments when people ask (or attempt to threaten me for my own friendship with Eck or Alex/Mollie), and shared certain things to make my position clear without getting into the nitty gritty, because I feel like the whole video genre comes down to drama being monetized. That is not my genre, and my contributing to it only grows that market, rather than having anything I would consider a positive effect, except maybe making me some money if the video attracts the kinds of views I don't really want in the first place.
I'm sorry that I only have one account to sub with! I think I've been subbed since shortly after you started this channel and I have to say thank you for the good lore content here.
Really the Corporate Sector should never risen up after the formation of the Galactic Empire considering that the Clone Wars was fought against Corporations that became too big for the Republic, and even though Palpatine got a cut of the profits from that sector, but the public and perhaps some of the high military command would have never allowed for the continue existence of the Corporate Sector considering how bad the Clone Wars was.
Oh the legends New Republic did try to come after them and criticized them as being worse than the Empire in some ways. Unfortunately the founding members of the CSA were made up of people from the orginal Old Republic and still had connections to many wealthy core worlds who protected their interests.

The Union's primary backbone on otherhand was gillded age industrial tycoons.

Very little if any compensation was given to the families if or when this happened until the formations of the workers unions who pushed for better legal protections. It's old argument but not entirely untrue, to say part of the reason for the civil war was not just to free the slaves out the kindness of the unions heart, but a scheme by northern industrial magnets to wipe out the competition that the plantation model posed to their industrial models expansion.

They poured their life into it and created a life around it. He set out to tell a story and she helped bring it to life. They later added richness and depth. Disney turned it into cash cow stripped of inspiration or understanding than completely milked the cow till dryness. To adapt a quote Ian Malcom from Jurassic Park " I'll tell you the problem with the corporate buyout's like this: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it! ". That's essential what Disney did or does now and like dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are no more actual dinosaurs than the cheap plastic kids toys you see in toy stores made in china.
