    I’d prefer no tyranny at all, but if I had to choose, I’d pick the tyranny of corporations because, at least, companies don’t have a monopoly on violence.

      They don’t though. Private security, PMCs, and private prisons all operate here.

      Hell, even the Pinkertons still quietly exist, and they specifically provide security and investigation services for corporations and are still used to investigate and intimidate union leaders.

      Tyrrany of corporations means that the state uses its monopoly on violence at the behest of the corporations though.
