Ever heard of the East India Company?

Or a modern day example: https://ccrjustice.org/bowoto-v-chevron-murder-and-torture-n...




uhhh, in your example, a subsidiary of chevron paid the government to attack protestors. I'm sure there are small examples of companies actually conducting violence, but you should feel bad about yourself in that you couldn't even muster the effort to find something that disproved my point.


If you're suggesting the government should not be able to exert violence because corporations aren't, I'm listening but I suspect you haven't thought this through.
