I’m not sure I’ve seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

      Have you considered that corporations have done a lot of the legwork on their own to get people to hate them? A lot of people mistakenly treat corporations like some sort of necessary evil. They aren’t necessary.

          That is not remotely a cogent comparison. Do you understand the difference between unavoidable and necessary? Falling on to rocks from a decent height, getting impaled is unavoidable. But it isn’t necessary.

          Likewise, being born into a hell hole that destroyed it’s cities and communities by prioritizing accommodations for cars over people. Cars are unavoidable, not necessary.

          Capitalism is exploitative and unavoidable currently. Especially if you have resources a capitalist wants. Even if you mind your own business, they will come in. Attack you and rob you just to get what they want.

          The timeline of human history dwarfs the timeline of capitalism and corporations. We’ve gotten by for most of human history without capitalism and corporations. An indoctrinated capitalists like yourself would argue however that capitalism and corporations gave us industry and a lot of the things we currently enjoy. To which I would immediately deflate your balloon by pointing out that Russia and other countries that weren’t capitalist also industrialized at the same time. Keep in mind none of this is praise of Lenin his ideology or any of the countries that claimed to follow it. Simply pointing out the willful ignorance and lack of education on the part of capitalist fan boys.
