Those corporations are already powerful centralized authorities! The difference is that they don't even have to pretend to be beholden to the public like the government is.

Exactly! If the government starts doing things to you there are legal recourses. If your bank decides you can’t have an account anymore, there’s not much you can do.

  Because a government would never freeze the funds in your bank account. Oh wait: that is what Canadian government did to tractor-trailer protesters a few years ago.

    They frozen the funds held by private banks. So what's the value-add of banks, again?

As long as they are technically separate we have the chance to separate the two again, removing corruption and capture. If the industries are moved into the government officially we really have given up that fight and have to accept whatever they give us. I assume it will be cake.
