Government and Corporations aren't Evil. We are.

Why do people think corporations are these autonomous beings who can make moral and amoral decisions? Corporations are just the edifice of human entrepreneurship. They are transient and products of the human condition. The corporation is after-all the human labor, externalized by other human labor, like the shareholders who generate working capital.

I think we can deconstruct corporations only when we realize that humans are essentially responsible for their performance and not the other way around. Once we can do that, then I think we can come up with a better conclusion and solution to how we can protect ourselves from exploitation.

Humans after all, according to the early Platonic understanding of social contracts, want to commit injustices against others without the fear of reprisal. That's not to say that there aren't "good people" in the world who fall into the altruistic role, but only that there is a dedicated group who seeks self determination while at the same time, also wishes to avoid being treated unjustly by others in their pursuit of gaining something over somebody else.

Justice then becomes the laws we create in order to protect ourselves from the extremes of this natural order, ie fearing some cunt will take something from you. Ironically this cunt who is probably going to fuck you over for his own goals, is also afraid of being fucked over himself. He then gives up a portion of his rights in order to be protected by the same code of laws that create the conditions that protect the altruistic cunt.

As a result men decide that it is in their interest to submit themselves to order and law in order to keep their sovereignty preserved. The cunt can continue to be a cunt as long as he isn't fucking somebody else over. The problem starts to arise when we forget that we're essentially the ones that agree on the laws that are there to protect us. The leviathan that is the government has the responsibility to protect us from this natural certainty, but it us who make up the leviathan. We agree on the set of laws and when we forget this we run into trouble.

So it's really our responsibility and the governments to limit the role of corporations if they are threatening the stability of justice and law. If the government can't do that then the social contract is broken and we must hold representatives and law makers accountable.

Its actually from the Republic, when Glaucon is trying to acquit Socrates of his crimes by asking, what is justice? I also bring up Hobbes though who is sort of the father of modern social contract theory. Locke pretty much uses the same methodology as Hobbes only instead of being born into the state of nature as a cunt, according to Locke humans are born into it as divine beings by religious authority ie God. I lean more towards Plato and Hobbes; that men are born cunty and vicious, and that society conditions them to be law abiding.

Sorry if this turned out to be a giant tirade and regurgitation of basic political science but I'm bored.
