I think corporations can wield power and influence way beyond governments. For example, bigtechs like Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft: wealthier than many governments have more capacity to influence internationally due to regulatory capture, are embedded into many governments Can utilize powerful governments against weak ones through lobbying arms Can whip up revolts and foment revolutions easily fully capable of co-opting national level industries and telecommunications infrastructures When I think about dystopian, sci-fi, cyberpunk books and films, it was often the Megacorps that exceeded nations in power. We see that today.
