I generally agree with your conclusions but want to point out that corporations absolutely could (and in some cases should) be destroyed by the state.
“could” and “do” are different things - the system is what it does. and what it does is treat profit as more important than anything else.
Sure and I don’t disagree there, just wanted to clarify that it’s not some immutable property of corporations or governments that governments cannot destroy corporations. Corporations are a legal fiction that a properly empowered government could revoke the charter of where appropriate. I believe I’ve heard it called the “corporate death penalty” and if I were king I’d be doing it to a number of repeat offenders immediately.
There are of course some human consequences for taking drastic action against corporations. But in many cases – surely more than the 0% of the time the government does it – the good outweighs the bad.
