Text: In a rational world, governments would treat companies like criminals on parole. They would ankle monitor them and say, "You can only go to work and do your job, that's it. You can't fund candidates for office who will rewrite the laws in your favor. You can't run advertising campaigns to lure people into your house. Do the one thing that you do and collect your pay and shut the fuck up." That is the arrangement that we should hold in our minds as a goal. I realize that this is all rather broad, but it is useful to always remain conscious of the fact that corporate power is, at all times, trying to dominate the world, and that it is the project of democracy to stop it, and that its capture of the state should be despised and avoided everywhere it manifests itself. Workers are people. Companies aren't. Every single union contract is a small step towards keeping the world out of the hands of the evil robots.
