As of early 2026, the G7 has become a power struggle in the shadow of not only states, but also the \u201cnew feudal lords\u201d (technology giants and huge capital blocs) that we envisioned.<\/p>\n

\nWhen we look at the G7 agenda today, on the surface we see a bitter \u201cGreenland standoff\u201d between the US and the EU and mutual threats of tariffs (from wine to automobiles). But to explain what is happening on this stage solely in terms of the geopolitical ambitions of nation states is to see only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n
\nThe leaders sitting at the G7 table today are actually caught between the boundless appetite of \u201ccloud capital\u201d and the traditional sovereignty of the nation state. This is where the concept of Techno-feudalism comes into play: The market capitalization of giants like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon has already surpassed the GDP of some members of the G7. These companies are no longer just trading; they are acting like a new generation of overlords who control the digital infrastructure and make governments pay \u2019rent\u201c.<\/p>\n
\nThe US's \u201cAmerica First\u201d protectionist walls and the EU's quest for \u201cStrategic Autonomy\u201d are in fact a strategy of global capital to gain a new position. Global capital provokes nation states against each other;<\/p>\n
\nWeakening regulations on AI and data ownership,
\nIt aims to make labor even cheaper in a system of \u201cdigital serfdom\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nThe tension between the G7 countries is also a fight over who will rule \u201cSurveillance Capitalism\u201d. Whoever has the data is the master of the new world order. While the US monopolizes this data through its own technology giants, the EU seeks a share of this huge capital flow under the name of \u201cdigital sovereignty\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nThe \u201carm wrestling\u201d we are seeing is not an attempt by states to overthrow each other, but rather a process of global capital remodeling the nation-state structure according to its own needs. The importance of the indigenous and publicist stance that I emphasized in the \u201cProduction Manifesto\u201d becomes more vital with each passing day as states surrender to this technological hegemony.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
