  Great counter to Rectenwald’s private military idea:

  @shannonsmith6806 Think about it though: can we really say who’s running whom? Is the state in control of Lockheed Martin, or is Lockheed Martin in control of the state? And what about existing privatized militaries like Blackrock - are they really any better or worse than our wholly discredited military machine?

  The trouble with Libertarians is that they don’t seem to realize that the state is ALREADY in thrall to the corporate sector, and that this is pretty horrific state of affairs.
