The crucial thing is way up there and out of the control of ordinary people. Whether it is a centralised state that had got out of control, or huge capitalist enterprises is a secondary matter.

THe rationale for state control is that the state machinery is under the control of ordinary peiople through the democratic process. The rationale for capitalism is that the market puts ordinary consumers in control.

But neither mechanism seems to work very satisfactorily. When we pull on the ropes we find they are made of sand. I think that both paradigms have very consistently souight to minimise and exclude all mechanisms by which ordinary people can exercise control directly and effectively.
