Is it spitting on malthus' grave though? Doesnt it make sense for a state to cultivate its citizens for success in the broader market? Even if you believe in the state as fully subsumed to production its like... production of what exactly if not citizens?

First indiscriminately swap-out the citizenry for hostile dysfunctional third-world detritus, then indiscriminately subsidize it. Sounds like a plan.

Well ok yes given the current configuration of things it's obviously not the plan. But in a world of neocameral sovcorps wouldn't they ultimately be competing to produce the best citizen? And wouldn't they subsidize the production of these? Of course this is far from 'universal'

I don't see how hand-outs are cultivating anything but dependency.

The thing is... does a fully privatized state treat citizens as its product or its employees or its customers or its property? The answer to this will say a lot abt its internal resource distribution

Citizens are stockholders, but most residents are its sovereignty-services customers.

I guess the question is just if "income redistribution (as a service)" is a viable business model then!

C'mon. How can giving away money possibly be a business model?
