Uh, what? If you are an anarchist, and you truly feel that McDonald's hierarchy is just as problematic as governments coercing behavior, OK, you do you. But if you're not an anarchist, and you're arguing anarchists think this way... that is not the way any of my anarchist friends think about the problems of corporate hegemony vs. government coercion. They are against both, but consider them vastly different problems, in scope as well as kind. Juxtaposing them and saying there's no difference... is not what any anarchists I know would do.

It's an argument I've heard from anarchists. Not that they are identical in scope (because that's blatantly wrong) but that they are both to be overthrown. This came up in a conversation where we were talking about various charities we might do something for, and since there was a Ronald McDonald House charity office nearby, I had suggested it. The mere association with McDonald's corporate made it entirely unacceptable.
