How are corporations just not like states? How are they just not another hierarchical institutions that need to be abolished?

And how exactly would we reduce corporate power if we got rid of government?

And isn't less regulation just what they want?

 No.14969

>How are corporations just not like states?

They aren't coercive in nature.

>How are they just not another hierarchical institutions that need to be abolished?

Definition of hierarchy, according to http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hierarchy

>1. A group of persons or things organized into successive ranks or grades with each level subordinate to the one above: a career spent moving up through the military hierarchy.

You can't completely abolish hierarchies if you define it this loosely, not without also abolishing freedom. If one person decides to take orders from another person, do you want to step in and threaten both of them with a gun? Congrats, you just created a new hierarchy, wherein your judgement on what is beneficial stands above the autonomy of everyone else.

>And how exactly would we reduce corporate power if we got rid of government?

By not inflating it further. No regulation that only hurts small businesses who can't afford an army of lobbyists and lawyers. No taxation that cripples smaller businesses. No subsidies that support corporations, whether they have fucked up or not, at the expense of the taxpaying population. No bailouts that prevent big, unsuccessfull businesses from making way for smaller, more innovative and competent ones. No copyright laws that stiffle innovation and are used as weapons to harass your competitors.

>And isn't less regulation just what they want?

If it is, then why don't I see Microsoft pushing for anarchocapitalism?

>inb4 because even Microsoft sees that it's a stupid idea

Why would it be a stupid idea for Microsoft? I thought corporations only cared about what's best for them? If anarchocapitalism would mean that the rich would get away with everything, then why isn't Microsoft proposing it?

I just said that they aren't coercive in nature. Unlike states, which are always coercive and cannot be non-coercive.

As for corporations acting coercive: That totally can happen. inb4 le ayncraps btfo xDD Which brings us back to your unbased assumption that there would be no justice in ancapland. I'll leave reiterating your shitty arugments to you.

>>14983

I meant coercive as in "they initiate aggression".


 No.15001

>>14967

>How are corporations just not like states?

A corporation does not use force to get its way.

>And how exactly would we reduce corporate power if we got rid of government?

Corporations are powerful because they can better utilise the government to do their biddings via lobbying. Therefore less powerful government = less powerful corporations.

>And isn't less regulation just what they want?

Established corporations want regulations because it hurts smaller businesses more than big ones thus giving them a relative advantage.


 No.15003

lol

>>14991

>initiate aggression

against what?


 No.15008

>>15003

>against what?

Against lawnchairs, you fucking moron.


 No.15017

Corporations are the main beneficiary of regulation. Specifically the ones who lobby for them.

A better question to ask yourself is how are they just like states?


 No.15021

>>15008

>can't give a correct answer

how do you expect anyone to answer your questions when you don't define your question's context?

Plus, you could just blaze 'em lawnchairs if they tries to invade us.

Commies do nothing but decry capitalism and then say, "accept our alternative or die".


 No.15033

>>15021

Initiate aggression against the rights of other people, namely their life, liberty, bodily integrity or property. Do I really have to educate you on the basics of libertarianism?


 No.15054

>>15033

seems like you're the one who can't ask a coherent question.

I can't tell who's replying to who here. OP, please use a commie flag.

So far I've gathered:

>How are corporations not just like states?

>Corporations aren't coercive

>They're coercive to their competition (???)

Corporations do not have a monopoly on force. If a corporation in the lands of Ancapistan decided to aggress against people, one is justified in practicing self-defense. As Ancapistanis are generally not okay with corporations being aggressive, they would also stop engaging in voluntary trade with them. Their profits disappear or they are justifiably destroyed, or both. Thus, no rational corporation would attempt coercion as they exist for making a profit and this would never result in long-term profit.
