Given free hand, corporations can be just as dangerous as governments. I don't know why you would trust corporations more, since their only goal is to make money.
- mobilefriendly 9y ago>just as dangerous as governments Corporations don't have nukes or concentration camps.
- ako 9y agoCorporations have nuclear power plants that can be just as dangerous. Corporations can feed the masses miss-information, that may lead to destabilisation of a society by making them vote for the wrong person.
- ako 9y agoCorporations build unsave factories that kill 1000s when collapsing (see Bangladesh). Corporations will add addictive substances to food and sigaretes you increase sales, in the process killing millions.
- CamTin 9y agoThey could easily get them if we didn't prevent them from doing so.
- bubinubn 9y agoThe Black Hole of Calcutta is a widely known example of what can only be considered a corporate concentration camp of the (at the time privately owned) British East India Company...
- hyper_reality 9y agoThat is a bad example indeed. The event of the Black Hole of Calcutta, where soldiers were rounded into a tiny dungeon which few survived, was perpetrated against British soldiers working for the East India Company by the governor of Bengal, Siraj ud-Daulah.
- cabaalis 9y agoAt least with a corporation you understand their goal completely.
- nitrogen 9y agoNot really, unless you can listen to every meeting or conversation and read every document.
- SmirkingRevenge 9y agoI agree. The danger isn't simply "Big Government" or "Big <Whatever> Corp.". It's the concentration of power, whether by private or public entities. Private entities will abuse/buy/influence any power structure that happens to exist, to server their interests.
