    What do you think is the quality that would make such an organization still be a “corporation”?

      You could argue at some point it wouldn’t be one anymore but what I’m saying is that nothing in this process of gaining power requires a state.

      In a functional and lasting anarchist society, there would need to be norms and systems in place to stop this kind of authoritarianism from cropping up.

        What you’re talking about sounds like collectivism. I think it’s a good thing. It requires humans or other actual people to have interests that they collectively look out for.

        Corporations are a different thing. They continue to exist and act as though they have interests, even if those interests are not shared by any living person. They are essentially immortal AIs that have been subjected to evolutionary pressures for centuries. But that requires a state, I’m pretty sure.
