Power, not just money, power in too few hands. Getting there also tends to require extreme selfishness, which only makes it worse for everyone else when the most selfish acquire said power. Democracy was supposed to disperse power across the community to explicitly prevent concentrations of power.
Power is owned by Capital. Capital is owned by Violence.
Yes, power is owned Capital/wealth, But no one has power in Capitalist system without wealth/money, just a fact. So no way is Wealth/money owned by violence. Perfect example is the political history of The 1st World, especially USA & even happening with ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’. Violence is owned by all, but Privileged, like government forces with authorities, get away with violence.
It is. Capitalism requires a significantly capable system of violence to enforce physical property rights or capitalism can’t exist, violence is a foundation for capitalism. We don’t see it much because the legal system has been so effective we rarely encounter it, except for violent offenses, but laws and rules are backed by threat of force. Financial and business crimes are rarely prosecuted, so the violence of the law doesn’t get used much in that sphere. That privelege has been intentionally lobbied for over decades in an attempt to disempower the state from effectively governing business through it use of violence. But the person with the gun who can take your buildings and your machines and your data centers and your gold, ultimately determines who controls the things of value that wealth consists of. Capital requires violence used on its behalf to gain and maintain wealth. Violence is the basis of it all.
I agree with everything you posted, except the very last sentence. Moving money-resources into Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners control is the foundation/final reason to everything Capitalism. Just as moving money-resources into The Royal Families’ control is the foundation/final reason to everything Feudalism.
Consolidating control of everything is the motive and goal, but the mechanism for it being possible is the use of force to maintain physical control of things, even in feudalism.
I agree, but you have to sell it, to be able to do what you are talking about.
Violence is the instrument, that is used by those that have Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners/The Royal Families, thus violence is not needed without Capitalism/Feudalism trying to move money-resources to them.
Violence is always needed for property rights, even outside feudalism and capitalism, though. Violence is a consistent presence across system types. Violence as the means to property control exists outside of civilization itself.

Money results in having power, wether you use it or not/Privilege (SP?) given people with more money over people with less money .
