>>15974988The government is, historically, the only way to rein in corporations and prevent them from running roughshod over all of your friends, family, and neighbors. They want to reduce you and everyone you care about to starving serfs with no money, no power, and no leverage to resist this mass exploitation or do anything other spend your entire life working hard, not to improve the lives of each other, of the people in your community, but to funnel all of the fruits of your labor to rich shareholders who already have everything they could ever want.
The trouble is that these corporations & capitalists have taken power away from elected officials writ large and now they set the agenda of our government. Their influence over our fake democracy must be diminished if we're ever to rise up off our knees and liberate the working people of the world from the current status quo financial system, but you need a strong federal government to do that. Without it you get what we have now, corporations running the entire show, writing all legislation & regulations and choosing when and if to enforce them.
