    Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.

    Yeah… that’s how we ended up in this situation. How do you think these giant corporations became so powerful? They “reformed” laws until they could do whatever the hell they please - that’s what “reform” gets you.

        It’s really simple… the people with money get to dictate how these “reforms” work - that’s it. It doesn’t matter if you get a Bernie Sanders into a position of power - the “vested interests” will dictate all the little loop holes in the small script that allows for “business as usual” to continue, and that’s if they bother to hide it at all. It’s literally how we ended up in this terrible situation.

          Yes, which is why you should hit where you are not expected.

          Which is why statism always works for the stronger side.

          I don’t get why leftists don’t usually understand this. I’m not a leftist, but this should be a very simple conclusion.

            I don’t know what kind of “leftists” you have been talking to… the ones I talk to understand this very well. It’s pretty much been the bedrock of anarchist thought for more than a hundred years now.
