Government is not the only form of centralization of power. Private entities pose similar threats, at a certain point.
Sanders: "If an institution is too big to fail, it is too big to exist."
Government can centralize things, yes. It can also break up existing centralized markets...and increase healthy competition.
- um_ya 11y agoSanders is simply taking power from several financial elites, and giving it to a single centralized authority. Sanders fails to realize that the biggest institution that is too big to fail, is the U.S. government. We should spend more time dismantling all the government powers, and not adding to them.
- error_logic 11y agoThe increasing centralization of things like emergency powers that state governors once controlled (details would take research to cite) is worrisome and you make a fair point. You lost me when you said "all" powers though. The Constitution is a 2nd draft for a reason: We need some centralized power to keep a unified front in order to benefit from the economy of scale it provides.
