Governments want to elevate their power, not bad industrialists. Bad industrialists happen when government prints money.

Without governments like Trumps one to seize the commodities of countries tries like Venezuela the capitalists would be a sad bunch indeed.
The government is what sets up the legal framework- the property rights and courts and contracts which enable capital to invest.
Good luck getting Venezuelas heavy crude flowing into the hungry veins of US imperialism without at least a semblance of rule of law in Venezuela- a semblance of course heavily in favour of the parasitic Big Oil US corporates who will suck the wealth from Venezuela and fund Trumps next adventure.
Governments are fundamental to the wealth of nations and stupid hysterical cunts like Rand will just never get it.
Indeed we have a beast inside all of us.
