> in the US and other free countries the state serves the people's interests, and the corporation is a group of people with common interest. Does it? I'd argue that in a lot of free, western countries the state does serve the people, but more so the ruling class and those in power. Which can happen to align with the peoples interests, but often does not, in my opinion. Lobbying, advertising and the available funds for campaigns tips the scale heavily to one side. And those in power in the west are? Exactly, the rich people from the private sector. Citizen's United seems okay, but you can't tell me that what this tries to prevent happens constantly behind closed doors. Of course that doesn't make it less important. |
