Lobbyist Solutions

Wayment, we talking about the franchise now? How could a "business" get a vote?

You know that I'm against corporatism, I'm guessing after all these years. Hell, you know that I'm against corporations, period, as a generic legal construct. I'm also against all forms of intellectual property created by state fiat. If we agree to eliminate state chartered "business," i.e., corporations, LLCs, public corporations, &c., and state-created intellectual property, will that start us down the road of restricting the speech of "business?" It can't speak if it doesn't exist.

That's my initial peace offering on reducing the supply of offensive lobbying speech.

Just found this thread. Nice debate going on.

Fife: Why are you against corporations, LLCs, and IP?

If you could restructure society and eliminate these concepts, what would be an ideal way to organize commerce so that goods and services could efficiently reach large numbers of people who live very far apart? It seems like you need large business entities to do this effectively like the ones above.

You don't need the state for these entities; and you certainly don't need the state-issued monopoly. Quite the opposite.

Look up the Kinsella stuff as a starter course on this.

What state charter is a good state charter?

I kind of like the one that allows you to become a legal pirate.

Touche.

The history of marque and reprisal is pretty interesting stuff in the context of socializing defense.
