Consider the massive power wielded by SpaceX with respect to the purchase of Russian rocket components. They prevailed by applying the right amount of pressure at the opportune time (viz a viz Ukraine).
In principle, this accomplishment could be replicated.
- etherael 13y agoThey're advancing the interests of the state in the all important "great game", effectively increasing their power. All due respect to SpaceX, the state needs to die, not be further empowered. Not a valid strategy. Also, they engage in good old fashioned direct bribery; http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00411116 http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00411116
- etherael 13y agoThe state must die is not a call to violence, I mean to say the institution of political authority must be annihilated, not the people that currently hold that authority. I wish all individual humans within those institutions long happy productive lives after they stop threatening everyone outside those institutions with violence.
