> Once again government creates a problem, then people look to government to solve the very problem it created which creates even more problems What? And your answer is the private sector? Yeah i totally love how Bill Gates is trying to make Indian and African farmers dependent on Monsanto/Bayer's toxic GMO seeds. [1][2] I don't think that the dichotomy that you allude to, between the government/state and business/companies, makes much sense: 1.) A national government is what creates the laws and maintains the registry of land/resources (land/resources which are owned by companies) 2.) A company is literally a database entry in a government database, the state issues the 'birth certificates' and 'death certificates' (folding a business or bankruptcy) for companies. 3.) When a profit-seeking company builds up knowledge today they want to enclose it by using intellectual property laws (useful for a monopoly). 4.) Competition between nations leads to useless competition, because often the same research and development has to be done twice (or just, every time again for each new country) - wasting resources and labor. The working class pays for all this dearly, since they are not part of the propertied class and are thus completely at the mercy of their whims and with only their labor to sell. So yeah, the nation state needs the concept of companies, and companies are only possible by having a state. Capitalism and nationalism/patriotism is the name of this game. Imagine if all of humanity pooled all it's non-scarce resources, removing all knowledge gatekeeping apparatus that blocks the diffusion of innovation by creating artificial scarcity where none need be. Imagine all technology and science open access for the benefit of the working class. What a dream.
