since I read the book, 25 years or more, so I will defer to your recollections of the fictional events.

However, when you see the unholy alliance of company and government, you see the company as the subordinate one. Don't companies, especially the big ones, jerk the chain of government just as often and for their own ends? Sometimes it is hard to tell who is leading who around, especially with the amount of money corporations throw at government.

Who has more of a say in our current government, you with your vote and right of grievence or the oil companies with their millions of dollars and sharp dressed lobbyists? Or, as you often point out, a a corrupt labor union? I see the assault on my individual rights coming from three vectors: Government, corporations, and religion. Just my own cynical point of view. You focus on the abuses of governments. That's fine, but I'd not turn my back on any of them.
