> government to pull out of governing and let corporations carry the weight i don't see that so much as i see an unholy union of state and corporate. both rely on the other for authority, funding, reliability, and legitimacy. think what happened in the us recently. the state couldn't find a way to legislatively silence dissenters and opposition, so it quietly contracted the job out to twitter/fb/google etc. some donations change hands, some preferential legislation gets passed, stocks are moved, and everyone is happy and wealthy.
