    That’s corporatism in a wider sense. Existed since times immemorial. It’s a systemic problem, that is, defined by architecture.

      Corporatism like this is fairly new. Creating bullshit positions for your followers is an old tradition among kings and other rulers, but putting people from one leadership position where they fucked up into the next is only here since the capitalist class established itself after the industrial revolution.

            That’s not what I’m talking about, I meant, say, helping those similar to you with the implicit idea that they’d help you too, and that being a common rule in a certain subset of the society, thus working.

            Can’t remember now why I chose that word, “corporatism”. (Not important for the subject, but Knights Templar or any trading family or clan that would exist before 1400s can still be called corporations, same for religious sects.)
