But they can hire a private prosecutor to legally harass you and force you into house arrest for winning a case against them

It's silly to argue that Corporations don't have violence as a tool. In a literal sense, they might not be hiring thugs to break your legs, but with money comes many good lawyers who can tie you up in court for a decade, milking every bit of money(the thing you survive with) from you. This is a form of violence, an individual is defenseless against a large enough corporation that can basically spend 100x what you can on lawyers.
