    corporate sway over policy

    This is a great point. Private corporations hold a lot of control over the US state proper, which could undermine the state’s functional purpose of managing the common bourgeois class interest, as individual capitals influence one-sided decisions at the state level which are self-destructive in the long term. But idk, corporations also got in line behind Trump real quick this second term, so even that feels like cope as I’m writing it. Guess only time can tell how competent these fascists are.

      While corporations especially Silicon Valley ones did fall in line, trump still seems sensitive to markets which appear to have forced him to back off from certain positions. So maybe it would be better to say markets instead of corporations would sway the admin.
