Your options are The Trade Federation or the Old Republic.
Count Dooku or Senator Palpatine
And stop asking what happened to all those Younglings. The Trade Federation would kill far more Jedi if they were in power.
Comparing Kamala to either is unhinged
I agree that making real life comparisons to fantasy characters can quickly become silly.
Honestly if you took it at face value i.e. Dooku was not Darth Tyranus and actually believed in the CIS cause, it wouldn't seem like that bad an option.
I know this isn't the point, but The Trade Federation were a Neimoidian megacorporation that was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which Count Dooku founded.
Wasnt dooku a sith? Thus was working for palpatine and the whole war was a plot to undermine the old republic to create an empire that palpatine directly controlled.
Yup
more like pre-palpatine republic vs empire.
A big theme of the Prequel Series (and a reason for its insurgent popularity) stems from the strong anti-war themes.
The Old Republic became the Empire as it was consumed by the mass militarization of its greedy, self-righteous, and power hungry elites.
The Jedi fell into Palpatine's trap when they surrounded themselves with Space Cops, foolishly believing endless escalation made them safer.
yet you seem to forget that the entire clone war era was a government that had become largely pacifist and demilitarized suddenly needing to deal with racist space turbocapitalists, leaving them scrambling and reliant on Palatine's indoctrinated space cops to stop the literal corpratist takeover of the galaxy
