What do you mean? corporations are a legally defined entity by the state. Why would a corporation exist in the free market to begin with? Also how could a corporation attack anyway? they don't have guns or soldiers, just goods and services.

Because a corporation can produce and earn much, much more with much less risk than an individual. That's why corporations exist in a free market.

You mean other than the corporations that make guns and corporations that make missiles (right now, for government) and security corporations and private military contractors? Well, let's just start by worrying about those first.

Blackwater. Sometimes, a 1 word response is enough. When it is, it is good grounds for you to go away and check the ingredient list of your preferred flavour of Koolayd.

That's why corporations exist in a free market. As long as the initiation of violence exists in economics from government, religion and monarchy - the free market does not exist. And since corporations are created by the government, they are definitely not a product of free market since part of their income comes from the government. Corporations are more of a Frankenstein monster of capitalism and socialism.

Surely you can not blame a knife manufacturer for all the knife murders?

Free market would require a government to safeguard its "freedom".

Wrong. Corporations are created by people. People who understand the simple truth that if they work together both their productivity and security would greatly increase.

Bu there are others - those who think they can get away with it. (July 10, 2013 at 8:40 am)Koolay Wrote: Surely you can not blame a knife manufacturer for all the knife murders?
