Theory
As weak, lazy and incompetent as the Glukkons may seem, it is still possible for them to take over. The Glukkons may be foolish, but they aren't necessarily stupid. You saw the way they tricked the Mudokons into drinking Soulstorm Brew. Perhaps the Glukkons developed the concept of business on Oddworld and began to use Moolah. Once the system was accepted by Vykkers, sligs and the other industrial species, the Glukkons used their advanced knowledge of merchandising that they developed to gain an advantage over the other species. It's like America...How many electronics and cutting edge technologies are developed in America? Not many. Big name companies are usually from Japan of Germany or somewhere else- Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, Mercedes, to name a few-It's America's superior marketing that have kept America's economy running strong. Also think of apartheid in South Africa (I'm getting to a point here. Sorry for the history lesson) The weaker minority controlled the larger minority with money. All it would have taken is for a smart Glukkon to come up with an innovative idea and profit from it. Then he can get moolah, pay Vykkers to create products and weapons for him, pay sligs to serve as security and use the superior weaponry to take Mudokons prisoner. Mind control isn't necessary as long as Glukkons are the ones with the moolah. Remember also that Mudokons don't use moolah but Sligs and Vykkers do, so the Glukkons have influence over them.
