A Public/Private Partnership

For a century, the East India Company conquered, subjugated and plundered vast tracts of south Asia. The lessons of its brutal reign have never been more relevant [More]
Corporate predation is only possible with the coercive power of a state behind it -- otherwise, capitalism is voluntary. Plunder is not profit.

A coercive monopoly cannot exist under true freedom. And that includes a monopoly of violence.

Funny, how those who want to ensure that power monopoly is unchallengeable call themselves "progressives"  -- and those who want to tear the system down and replace it with total collectivism blame freedom of economic association and choice rather than the coercive powers restricting those.
