You can't say no to all the corporations.

No, you can't. They control all the resources and means of life.

Say no, and don't pay for your internet/cell phone service provider and see what happens to your reddit posts.

Oh wait.....

How about when corporations and governments become evil bedfellows? As is the case everywhere.

More like the corporate lobbyist buy or blackmail the government until it gets what it wants (usually congress is all to willing to be bought)

No, it is the opposite. A.L.E.C. org has gained passage of laws that make it very difficult and sometimes impossible to redress grievances against corporations and banks . . . and have in fact made it possible for corporations to sue private citizens.

That is why the libertarians are opposed to governments, it is the only tool to protect ourselves against the wealthiest and, the ones who can buy the most sophisticated weaponry.

What? Are you saying you grow, and process your own food.

Finance your own mortgage, auto loan, health care?

Produce your own medicines, build your own refrigerators and automobiles?

Yes we do have to interact with corporations.

I have no idea what your point is. But I guess is is that now that the corporations are our government, we are just volunteers.

My point is you are not going to be volunteering for anything without a government, you are supporting enslavement of the masses.

You are advocating abandoning listed and guaranteed individual rights.

There can't be any without a means to protect and guarantee them, that generally means some form of government.

Government exists to protect corporations. Any benefits rendered to the poor are only offered so they can survive to labor and toil another day.

Yes, the anti-government people have gained it all.

Remember when the U.S. had the world's wealthiest working class, homeowners and they sent their children to state colleges.

The right to have unions, a livable minimum wage, the most educated population of any nation.

It only took them 40 years to steal all the power back. With corruption and money to pay for the laws they wanted.

I think Qanontifa is one of the last people to think Trump will stop anything, lol.

Soon you will look at a corporation and look at your government and won't be able to tell the difference. Western politics is pretty much run by corporations already.

Between cabinet and lobby groups corporations have the run in a capitalist state.

And you aren't allowed to boycott Israeli companies in the US. Or at least promote boycotting them.

But for how much longer. And can you really say no if one corporation controls everything you need to live?

You have it backwards my friend.

Yes sir. I’m already with the program. Thanks for letting me know.

Read about the enclosure of the commons and come back to me. You really can't say no to corporations when corporations own 99.9% of the things in the world and you, the laborer, are dependent on selling yourself to them for survival.

Governments largely exist for the corporations, rather than the people. The people only factor into the government's concerns so far as necessary to prevent revolts or mass starvation of the laboring stock. That welfare money is just recirculated, in one form or another, to the owner class anyway. It serves the purpose of pitting the so-called middle class against the poor, and welfare programs are designed with a large taxable worker tax base in mind. The rich aren't paying those taxes.

What part of "owns 99.9% of the things in the world" do you not understand? In order to survive, you have to shop at the supermarket, buy from agriculture companies that own all of the farmland, pay rent to a landlord whose only function is to extract money, and so on. It is also an inevitability that capital concentrates into fewer and fewer hands as time progresses. The owner class as a whole will inevitably collude to make sure the workers and the unemployed don't rise up in revolt, which is why we have the modern police state in the world, where the commons are enclosed even more and collecting rainwater is now illegal. If Porky could do it, they'd commodify the air you breathe, and what would your argument be? That you can go somewhere else and buy someone else's air to breathe? Get fucking real. You would have to be deliberately incompetent at best, and malicious at worst, to keep spreading this ideological nonsense.

Corporations own governments now. You can't say no to either.

I have no idea what your point is. But I guess is is that now that the corporations are our government, we are just volunteers.
