Starmer is working with an alternative system of governance that is known in current right-wing thought as The Sovereign Corporation.

This entails a radical departure from democratic traditions.

It is when a government is structured like a corporation, sovereign power is centralized, and governance itself is profit-driven.

A few weeks ago Starmer tweeted that the UK Govt was in an official Govt partnership with Blackrock, who just happen to be the most criminally corrupt shadow bank in the world. Blackrock are now expanding their second empire-building model into ‘Natural Assets’ or ‘natures economy’ which, are not yet part of the financial system. BlackRock has long peddled the idea of public-private partnerships for infrastructure, climate and development.

Twin this with Labour’s February 2025 paper about a “national conversation” on land use, and it becomes clear that nature is to become tradeable on a universal ledger and blockchain.

The new ‘natural’ infrastructure that is now being unlocked is about moving nature into a debt-riven corporate model or racket, of course under the guise of being ‘green’ and ‘sustainable economic growth’.

This has nothing to do with saving the planet, it is about preserving the power of most corrupt financial elites, partnering them up with willing govts who have sabotaged their own economies and allowing them to ‘self-regulate’ in SEZs which range from 34 to 75km in diameter.

SEZ licenses were set at 25 years with corporate numerous tax breaks for 10 years.

UK SEZs have a secret corporate justice mechanism embedded in the contracts called the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) that allows corporations to sue the Govt over breach of contract, typically disputes are over a corporation’s right to pollute the environment, shred workers rights, ban unions, and modern-day slavery.

LCIA can bypass domestic courts the same way as ISDS can, Investor-State Dispute Settlement was set up in 1966 by The World Bank, the committee has 3 members, none of whom have a law degree.

A July 2024 Guardian article by Daniela Gabor wrote of ‘Handing vital infrastructure to private investment companies to generate windfalls for investors and leave the rest of us worse off by allowing Blackrock to rebuild Britain. BlackRock will privatise Britain – that’s housing, education, health, nature and green energy – with taxpayer money as a form of corporate welfare.

What constitutes Neocameralism and The Neoreactionary Movement?

Neocameralism is a system, originally proposed by Dark Enlightenment philosopher Curtis Yarvin (and inspired by Prussian cameralism), in which a state is a business which owns a country, and is run by a sovereign CEO. The organizations which own and operate these neo-states are for-profit sovereign corporations, or ‘sovcorps’.

Yarvin is part of The Neoreactionary Movement or NRx, which has historical connections to the prelude of WW2. The reactionary movement called for a return to authoritarianism and traditional values, which resonated with many disillusioned by the Weimar Republic’s perceived instability and cultural decline. This contributed to the failure of Germany’s 15-year democratic experiment, allowing Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) to seize power and establish the Third Reich.

Now consider why Starmer (and Lord Evermore) recently announced outsourcing governance powers to 700 corporate lobbyists, a few weeks ago during a webinar, and that the Govt would be taking a ‘secondary position’. Libertarians have long espoused shrinking big Govt to the size of a mouse and drowning it in a bathtub – Grover Norquist

Ethan Shone who writes for OpenDemocracy recently tweeted a list of corporations. ’Palantir, Amazon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Fujitsu, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Google, The City of London Corporation, BP, Goldman Sachs, Thames Water, BlackRock, BlackStone, Telstra Health, Macquarie, Meta, SGN, EDF, Leonardo, BAE Systems, Cadent Gas, National Gas, Natwest, Virgin Atlantic, Abrdn, Barclays, Coinbase, The British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, Bluebird Care, Edelman are just some of the firms that have met with senior Labour figures over the last 12 months.

There’s 2 kinds of sovereignty, there’s collective sovereignty which is people power, and there is corporate sovereignty which is the asset-classes power. Starmer is opting for the latter.

Starmer’s changed Labour Party is effectively owned by shareholders, so sovereignty is treated like private property, and as a consequence, social governance becomes an enterprise.

This in turn, leads to rule by a corporate elite who have over decades, ‘bought their way in’ via the revolving door, a sort of quid pro quo arrangement whereby corporate donations ensure the reshaping of policies to benefit the corporate political model.

The whole problem here is that by entrusting sovereignty and governance to corporations, allowing them to self-regulate in SEZs and charter cities, there is a singularly dangerous assumption that long-term incentives have nothing to do with the reality of how the private sector repeatedly dismantles the public sector for power and profit.

Starmer, Reeves, and Liz Kendall’s attacks on public services and infrastructure in the UK mirrors those in the US, they are part of something called ‘accelerationism’, which is all about pushing societal and political decay to hasten the inevitable implosion of democratic institutions.

What replaces the problem of ‘big govt’ is a form of second empire building, its foundational template is the deregulated zone.

Deregulated Freeports, SEZs, and Free cities are all variations on the same libertarian endgame, which is to completely dismantle the functions of the state by carving up a country into smaller, more manageable pieces.

It reminds me of the question ‘How to manage a big problem?’

Answer – You break it down into more manageable pieces, this is in essence what free zones are about, states within states.

It is also referred to as ‘managed decline’ or ‘engineered insolvency’.

The moment the public sector finally collapses is when corporations are invited in by willing Govt’s to ‘rescue’ democracy from its failures.

This is how corporations take control of a country by starving a nation of its public wealth and then proceeds to carve up its territories into patchworks of corporate sovereignties. Corporations have full scope to ‘self-regulate’ inside the free zones operating under different laws and a deregulatory framework developed by Shanker Singham, the architect of Brexit.

‘To recap: The Network State cult calls for the creation of new tech-controlled sovereign cities that would essentially act as miniature countries. These independent territories can be created in one of two ways’

Since the 2008 financial crash, SEZs proliferated faster than any other period in history, there are 5,400 SEZs in the world. As I said earlier Free zones are a form of second empire building. Capital has facilitated privatised governance structures in SEZs, there are 5,400 SEZs in the world, the most successful ones are in countries where democracy was sidelined.

The special relationship between the UK and the US has mutated to ensure that the tech model of corporate governance sufficiently infiltrates democratic institutions in order to hollow out democracy from within. The most direct line to that is by setting up zones of exception to the host country’s laws and regulations.

Shadow banking refers to financial institutions and markets operating outside of the same regulations as banks. Blackrock and Blackstone are the most criminally corrupt shadow banks in the world, and Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have announced govt partnerships with both of these corporations who are making serious incursions into the UK’s public sector. (Peter Thiel’s Palantir embedded in the NHS and the UK Police Force, Palantir is a spytech company)

Q – How are they doing this?

A – This is where the duopoly’s nationwide rollout of 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports kicks in.

Brexit chose ‘exit’ over ‘voice’

‘Exit’ means leaving the system entirely, when a country exits democracy, it has to find a substitute system, such as private governance, and/or creating SEZs and Free cities.

‘Voice’ means participating in democracy via voting, and activism.

I believe that ‘exit’ strategies have eclipsed ‘voice’.

The transition period is here, it is live, it is not a question of if but when.

This literally confirms what Curtis Yarvin, (the far-right philosopher in cahoots with Trump and Vance), who advocates the hollowing out of big govt and the civil service by appointing an unelected oligarch to illegally dismantle the civil service and steal taxpayers money designated for the public sector, (Elon Musk).

The Tories and Labour have set about dismantling big govt by breaking it down into more ‘manageable pieces’, this is how zoning works, you carve up the country into deregulated regions, and hand over governance powers to corporations while central Govt takes a secondary position. A similar practice has emerged with cryptocurrency because there are few regulations that the technology faces. High fluctuations in cryptocurrencies, increases in scams and scammers, and missing regulations and structure make shadow banking with cryptocurrency a high-risk, high-reward activity. The utility for cryptocurrencies is financial crime. Digital regulation is in its infancy, it is a prime candidate for manipulation by techno-feudalists. What is happening right now is that the philosophy of accelerationism pushes capitalism to its limits in order to collapse infrastructure and substitute democracy with an authoritarian kleptocratic alternative.

Deregulation is God.

Everything Starmer’s changed Labour Party is implementing falls under the deregulatory mantra of economic growth at all cost because the UK after Brexit is capital-hungry and desperate. This fits the pattern of a corporate coup, a hostile takeover of collective sovereignty, while the corporate political model of governance lays waste to public infrastructure and social democracy.
