There's a big difference between government and corporations. Corporations are, at bottom, simply groups of ordinary people with whom you deal with on a voluntary basis. A corporation cannot rob (tax, fine), kidnap (arrest), imprison, or drone you. A corporation has to be very bad indeed before it sinks to the level of even an ordinary government.

I'm not really sure what you're saying (like, how capitalists are any more "ordinary" than elected officials). One thing is sure, though. If you think corporations can't, or won't do all those things if they could (putting aside the fact that governments are elected while corporations aren't), then you're not familiar with US history: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_Government_Services http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_Government_Services * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_union_busting_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_union_busting_in_the...
