      Evil and corporate, certainly; government, no. As horrific as corporate influence in government is, it’s not the same horror as a corporation being the government.

      Like the difference between being guillotined and being crucified. Both are bad, and for the same basic reason, and you should do whatever you can to escape the fate of either - but one is definitely worse.

          Corporate lobbiests writing government policy isn’t corporate government?

          Corporate lobbyists writing government policy isn’t the same as a corporation literally employing and enforcing every aspect of the government, no.
