This to me is the most damning point one can make against privitization.
In a world where everything is privately owned, your constitutional rights don’t mean jack shit. That goes for 1A and 2A just the same. Communities here and reddit subs exemplify the often backwards and asinine policies go utterly contrary to any notion of free speech. Now apply that in life in general.
Corporations just become government without any consumer protections.
100% This is the reason anarchists and the only actual libertarians that exist.The ones that are on the left. Advocate for granular flat structures across the board. If you don’t argue for the abolishment of big businesses, the same as you argue for the abolishment of big government. You are no libertarian. And no. Business cannot regulate itself nor can competition keep businesses from growing too big. There’s like 200 years of evidence on all this.
As long as these massive multi-state, multi-national businesses exist. We will need a group of the public interest big enough to keep them in line. Government or lynch mob. And the more these cheeky fascists think they’re going to get around regulation by capturing the government. The more Luigi’s and lynch mobs there will be.
