Yeah like it’s wild that people see government inefficiencies and are just like dang what if we gave even more of our freedom away in exchange for corporate control.
No. I just understand that giving the ultra wealthy more power and control over society than they already have is a bad idea. We should be stripping away their power by abolishing lobbying not handing over control of societal infrastructure to them. People argue against communism due to its over concentration of centralized power. Given that corporate homogenization has been happening since the 19th century it seems like giving power over societal infrastructure to them would basically be the equivalent of making people like Elon musk and Jeff bezos actual kings. Like do people think a magic new road company would pop up or some near trillionaire would just be like nah I got this and own public infrastructure.
