re: #103 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸

hmm i thought of it as a desire to have no government interference without gaming out that that would imply corporate power intruding into your freedom instead

History tells us pretty clearly, especially in the US, that the choice is between corporate power and government power. The withering away of the US regulatory state to end up with a libertarian utopia is just as farcical as the withering away of the dictatorship of the proletariat in classical Marxism, so I can’t take it seriously.

That said, it does make sense to have a moderate level of skepticism for government power, to ensure that on balance the laws/regulations do more good than harm.
