And that is why you should not trust in these political entities that they could cure an amok-running banking system by regulating it. They have no inrest to do so, since you cannot differ between private enterprise and its lobbies and politicians anymore.

Cynicism is healthy to an extent. What's unhealthy is a pathological mistrust in everything, rooted in blind faith of the general horridness of people.

Worse is that, as somebody pout it, our states are no longer run by the law, but by lawyers, with some imagination and open mindedness one can easily imagine what is meant.

No, that's a lazy and meaningless parrallelism that ignores reality in order to sound clever. Our societies are numerous and complex. Law by it's
definition is always going to be as complex as those who are governed by that law. Hence lawyers. I don't see "lawyer" as a dirty word, I see it as a profession that serves a purpose.

As is no secret anymore, I assume  , this is why I conclude that the existence of governments and democratic states is the real problem. With democracy, thing shave become worse than they were in feudalism before, nevertheless, feudalism also means abuse of the power and forms a territorial monopolist with the power to make laws (to which the kings often were more bound than governments are today), its just that the dimension of the abuse was smaller than it became under democratic reign.

If you keep throwing these absolutes around you'll do yourself an injury.
