RE: Copy Clinic - Would You Trust this Corporation?

in #anarchism8 years ago

Ah I guess I can't edit older posts, that's a shame. A big thanks to everyone who's responded, the comments have been very useful! Here's the current newest version of the script (feedback remains welcome):


Would You Trust this Corporation?

Imagine being told that the key to social justice is to set up a gigantic corporation.

Much larger than any other, this corporation will have trillions of dollars in revenues.

It will have a monopoly on some extremely important market which it will use to extend its control into other markets.

It will hire men with guns to force customers to buy its product at any price it chooses.

And it will regularly bomb the employees and customers of corporations in other countries.

Would you trust this corporation, more than any other, to work in the best interest of society; to not abuse its power, to protect us from criminals, and from all the other corporations?

You might have some doubts.

Then imagine learning that every adult will be given one share of stock in this corporation, allowing them to vote for members of the board of directors.’

Would this put your doubts to rest?

Are national governments very different from this gigantic corporation? Can they be trusted to selflessly serve and protect the rest of society?
