       Start here:Society organizes itself. It just does. There is NO circumstance where there is no "government" even if it means the strongest thug telling everyone what to do. Anyone trying to tell you government is bad wants to BE the government.EVERYTHING done in society is organized by government. The rules for markets are government. The rules for weights are government. Money is government.Government COULD just do everything in society. /1#libertarians #government

       /2Government COULD organize to make everything, run every store, EVERYTHING.Governments today do not do everything. They ALLOW, ENABLE private "companies" to do much of what gets done in society. They ALLOW aggregation of investment through corporations, to do things that society DECIDED to LET them do. These entities MANAGE things FOR GOVERNMENT.Corporations, companies, are not created by God, they are creations of government./2#democracy #government

       /3 Corporations are government CONTRACTING OUT some of the functions of society. Government ALLOWS them to keep SOME of the proceeds, as a management fee.#corporations #government #democracy We HAVE TO get back to this understanding that corporations are creations of government and government HAS TO retain full control over what they do.Here is a post about this:The “Private Sector” Is Government “Contracting Out” Its Functions https://democracyandcommunity.org/2023/03/14/the-private-sector-is-government-contracting-out-its-functions/
