Corporations did just that in the specific part of the world under discussion here. I suggest you look into the East India Trading Company, Dutch East India and French East India companies.

I didn't say corporations are all good, but the fact that you had to go back to the 17th century to find an example tells a lot.

Governments have been killing people since their beginning and probably as we speak.

Sure, i wouldn’t disagree I do think that’s happening now.

governments do that and much worse.

Right now there are people in concentration camps.

I get that corporations can be bad, but they don’t have the monopoly on violence.

To conflate corporation’s violence with governments is a stretch.

It’s funny that people point at corporations being bad, while at the same time defending the worse offender.

I think people can be bad, and having a power form corporations make it worse, but the power government gives to terrible people is much worse.

I didn't need to go back to the 17th century but it seemed an appropriate example given the part of the world under discussion.
