A corporation is the prostitute of its controlling government. Similarly, corporate staff are the prostitutes of their corporation. Therefore, why not encourage these corporations to destroy each other?

I first thought you were going to point out that corporations are are powerless to resist pressure from spy agencies to compromise their products to gain economic/military leverage over other nations.

Your point about unfriendly nations not merely treating these corporations as non-combatant tools, but instead as legitimate targets, was very interesting.

Then what? All institutions are bad and we should embrace anarchy?

Anarchism is good actually.

But I don't see how the only way to fix this is to abolish all hierarchies. Having less jingoistic world leaders would be a start.
