>It's not like corporations really have a better track record.

The governments of Russia, Germany and China killed over a hundred million of their own people last century, no corporation comes anything near that.

The capitalist colonization of North America, complete with genocide and chattel slavery, deserves at least honorable mention. Also the East India Company, and the Irish famines orchestrated by British landowners, and many more.

Just because the companies doing the murder are more numerous and regularly go out of business, doesn’t mean that capitalism’s hands are free of blood.

Many of those governments had help. It's not the Nazis killed millions with their bare hands.
