Oppressing people

People seem to love being oppressed considering the amount of governments we have in this world.

I wonder what a good replacement would be. Oh yes, big for-profit companies that can do whatever they want to increase their revenue. They will certainly take good care of us.

That's *an* alternative.  But, its pretty unlikely.  Right now, government and big business are one in the same. Eliminate government and you eliminate the crony capitalist system that allows big companies to pass off their losses on to taxpayers, protects them from competition, and shields them from liability and it would seem to me that businesses would have a lot less power over the lives of the average person than they do now.
