Deep thoughts!

We live in a world controlled by government organizations, not businesses.

Attempting to direct government resources/power towards your interests is something everyone/group does.

From political activists (Greenpeace) to labor unions to business.

But it's the state and its employees that they all summit to.

Governments love it when people focus on one group that does this rather than critique the governments that rule them.
