Big Government = Social governance, a functioning public sector, that means regulation, cooperation between workers and corporations, a fair and balanced distribution of wealth between wage share and profit share, protection of worker rights.
Small Government = Corporate governance tailored for the rich, and the asset classes’ interests, this entails shrinking the state and setting up tax havens in the form of deregulated Special Economic Zones, which means privatisation and deregulation, and the big one, ‘exiting’ democracy.
Collective sovereignty = People power and participation in the ‘decision making’ process with our elected politicians, it means the power to hold corporations and errant governments to account should they start deviating from their duty of responsibility to the electorate.
Corporate sovereignty = no democracy because it is deemed incompatible with the predatory directives of capitalism, this allows the demolition of society via corporate anarchy.
