Comment on Facts
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus 1 day agoThe government taxes corporations as part of its mission to stabilize capitalism, i.e. to save the corporations from their own worst impulses. Capitalists say they hate the government, and indeed they sometimes individually clash with the State or its figureheads, but capitalists happily accept government money and protection from the proletariat.
And because the scope of government has increased, i.e. because governments simply do a lot more stuff than usual, occasionally they do things that are decent or uncontroversial. In a truly free society, these things should be handled by freely associated groups operating in continuous alignment with and consent from their communities, operating without the pernicious influence of capital and other oppressive, hierarchical, authoritarian social structures.

Yeah I’m saying abolish capitalism and government. Money too.

No, you said regulate them. Which would be a form of governance. Purely Semantics.

“Relegated” means “to consign to an inferior or obscure place, rank, or category”. And while I do not oppose governments regulating corporations (🤡 on 🤡 “violence” from my perspective) while both continue to exist, I want to see them both “relegated to the dustbin of history”, i.e. abolished by the freed proletariat as part of an anarchist revolution.
