If the criteria is "unelected, often unaccountable and in charge of ever more of our public services"
then surely the European Commission (or Herman van Rompuy, at least) should be on there?
Not even trolling here.
I wonder if he is too pan-european? this is your local petty national money waster types
from the comment section
This is an example of where right-wing libertarian thought starts to conflict with itself. Their mixture of being against large governments with sweeping powers and no accountability, while being pro free market ideals starts to fall apart as private companies take the space they feared governments would fill. This ends up with corporations driven by profit with huge amounts of power over a huge amount of people, with no set way to deal with them when they do something we don't like, the exact thing right-wing libertarians are supposed to be against.
these are the contradictions inherent in neoliberalism
amirite?
Coporations have their power given to them exclusively by the people.
They are, in fact, more 'democratic' than governments by their very nature.
:'')
surprised to see Tim Allen on there
can't think of anything he's done after toy story
Christ, Hyman's local church must be PLUSH.
they don't look too scary
this is a surprisingly boring list
These are all just people with jobs and stuff
had to stop reading at that awkward kafka reference
which is a shame as it looked like it might be interesting.
