Mostly I agree
Mostly I agree with what you are saying. In fact, after reading this thread, I would say that the biggest disagreement here is not over corporations but over the use of the word "evil."
The concept that a corporation is good or evil is not really debateable, since we haven't said "which corporation".
Why would we have to say which corporation? It is inherent in the design of corporations that they exist to channel money and will work towards channeling ever greater amounts.
Just as there is no need to ask "which one?" when somebody says that guns are dangerous*, I don't much see the point in picking out one specific company when I say corporations are dangerous and amoral.
In fact, my friend, I will go as far as to say that I am not even hopeful that we will get much further than the bacteria on the petri dish. We will glutton until we are living on top of the corpses and feces of the others before we even notice the food is gone.
Very likely, but I refuse to go down quietly.

* And just as with corporations, there is actually a small fraction that are not really dangerous.
