Not to mention dangerous to freedom and democracy. Where is the accountability? Mercenaries (military contractors) and domestic secret police, and now mercenary domestic police in liberal democracies?
This could also complete the fascist circuit. Guess who is going to end up owning those privatized police?
Oh, no! We just invested in them because they were profitable!
I'll bet they were, ya bastages. I'll bet they were...

Awful... they are winning this war. Because this is a war on the people.
Yet the solution is to give MORE power to capital according to "austrians". What a joke.
The only solution is to get back the government from capital and end corporatism and crony capitalism. There is no alternative. The alternative is slavery!
