@c corporations exist only at the behest of a government, there would be no reason for a company to have a DEI office, as an example, unless it was "required".
I'm some kind of libertarian fanboy saying this either - I simply want to highlight the real problems of corporations and organizations in general.

Corporations need to be destroyed from top to bottom. Replacing nations with brands is the greatest crime in history and nobody is being punished for it.

@c do you think you are going to get rid of the elite as a class?

Big companies have existed for a long time. The argument can certainly be made that they only have the power that they do because of the government's allowance of that power but it's a feedback loop problem now with corporations buying politicians. Both need to be destroyed, the corrupt politician and his donor.

@c If you destroy the elite you get khemer rouge

I think they can be punished to such a degree that they lose most of their power and have to flee your country, the ones that survive anyways.

@c sure, but "Corporations need to be destroyed from top to bottom." isn't the same thing.
A few simply designed rules and some punishment will effectively clean up the problem and incentivize people to report infraction.

I prefer Napoleonic France actually. I'm not talking about rounding up the upper class. I mean the American pseudo royalty and their friends, many of which are upper classmen to be sure.

@c yes, I think companies "too big to fail" are often a problem, but I think company size is always going to fluctuate based on technology and society.
Our society has been running overheated for probably 70 years now, and only the huge differential between our prosperity and the rest of the world and the assumption that those are just profits to be made rather than long term failures in the making has driven a lot of it.

Maybe so. I've become totally soured on the whole concept of a company too big to fail as they are now. Even just from an ideal world standpoint, you as a random labor supplier (worker) don't have the negotiating power of big company with infinite data mining and they will rip you off anywhere they can. You're better off working for a small company of which their could be basically infinite.
