"The mine owners did not find the gold, they did not mine the gold, they did not mill the gold, but by some weird alchemy all the gold belonged to them!" - William "Big Bill" Haywood

Exactly this. I wonder why there aren't 100's of independent workers all coming together to mine and sell gold? Oh yeah, cause they need someone to guide them.

no because they get jfked if they try to organize

Because 100 independent workers don't have the political power to measure up to the establishment rigged systems from before time to challenge the ruling class stranglehold on natural resources.

If you and a few of your fraternity brother secret society billionaire friends want to band together to form an oil company and start drilling in your county or anywhere there won't be many problems.

If you and a thousand workers band together to form an ecologically responsible oil company to start drilling in the county you live in there's too much red tape, legalese, and political suppression that it will never happen.
