Sure, good point. However I don't think it's possible or desirable to let industry be completely independent of the state. It seems to me that would lead us right back to our current predicament - power would concentrate and it would start putting pressure on the state.
The state itself is a concentration of power. Industry wants to co-opt it for that very reason.
Ideally though, all concentrations of power should be dismantled.
Whatever power you use to reduce concentrations of power would undoubtedly become quite powerful.
I think that it's probably better to attempt to reduce the size of any one concentration of power, and set them all up watching each other.
Agreed. It would be great if power was as decentralised as possible and if individuals would take an active part in their (self-)government.
Only in the sense of "industry control over government". Which doesn't strike me as any improvement.
The true opposite would be "industry has to fend for itself without being able to co-opt government to tilt the playing field in its favor".
