I interpreted this as “should any non-state entity” have more power than the state?
My initial thoughts are that if the particular state in question is a working, liberal democracy apparatus, then it is probably best that it has more power than a non-elected, non-representative entity (whether or not said entity is for-profit, like a corporation, or non-profit, such as a church).
- VoxPelli 6y agoStates are what states are, it’s more complicated when it comes to sizes there as it has to do with territory, democracy etc. So I didn’t try to relate companies to states, I just wanted to exclude the states from the discussion altogether.
- joubert 6y agoYep. That’s why I replied because the parent comment (to my comment) doesn’t appear to me to advance the conversation.
