> Corporations don’t have any power without government, which is why a limited government limits corporate power.
They have as much power as they have resources to enforce, which is a lot more than you have, meaning they have a lot more - and in practice all - power.
> If government is the source of protection for your rights, they can only take that protection away. Leaving you your rights and now full burden of protecting them.
A governing body is a collective agreement over what rights and freedoms its members deem fit. If you have none, as you said, you have the full burden of protecting them. Someone else (in the case of n-1 of all people) will always have more resources to protect (or impose on others) their freedoms/rights.
You either end up losing your rights/freedoms, or you establish a coalition with other nearby people, but you won't call it a government, because for some reason that word is bad.
- IanDrake 9y agoUnless corporations have the right to coerce you (which only government can grant them), they have no power over you. Walmart is one of the largest corporations around and they have no power over me. I can voluntarily work or shop there, but they can’t force me to do it.
- optimuspaul 9y ago> (which only government can grant them) You've missed the point, there is no government to grant or revoke anything in this scenario.
