When acting on behalf of a corporation (e.g. as an employee), humans are quite limited in what they can choose. This is very commonly used to justify actions that even the human themselves may find immoral. E.g. "just doing my job", "have bills to pay", "just following orders", "if I wouldn't do it, somebody else would". Not only are the corporations psychopaths (i.e. amoral), they are structures that turn humans psychopaths when they are on the clock.

We seem to agree that structures like corporations are best seen as something that transcend the individuals that they comprise. And I think there are less harmful forms of organization, or at least what corporations can do should be limited by e.g. states and unions significantly more.

I avoid (and criticize) the use of "evil" because it usually muddies more than clarifies, and has weird metaphysical connotations. "Harmful" I think captures it better.

I agree with you. I was hyperbolic to make a point. Instead "necessarily evil", "harmful necessity" would be more appropriate.
