Which lead to the insidious and toxic idea of liberalism that it’s impossible, governments will always be corrupted. It’s wrong, and this idea only serve capitalism and liberlism. A powerful state is the only solution to fight these parasites.
Sorry, but you got that totally backwards (liberalism only has is half-way backwards). A powerful state is what makes it possible for these companies to exists and do the damage they do. They are nearly interchangeable with the state, and the further down a state goes towards fascism the more true this becomes.
Explaining this is out of scope of this community… but currently it is the police that is protecting these companies and the courts that are jailing activists. If you think the state is (or even can be) on our side, you are gravely mistaken.
Unless you can somehow make a state hold itself accountable for its actions I don’t see that we’ll ever get a state that works for the people. Of course there’s a spectrum with some states worse than others, but to have to constantly fight off authoritarian structures who want more power over you shouldn’t be the norm.
