But they didn't murder their own customers. Their customer, a government, did the murdering.

As long as government claims the right to a monopoly on violence, it is reasonable to hold them to far, far higher standards than anyone else, including corporations. There is only so much damage one company or one cartel can do, but with government, the downside is unbounded. As I suspect we're about to see for ourselves.

Nah, let go of that monopoly on violence claptrap. Governments can't do things without corporations to build stuff for them.

> Their customer, a government, did the murdering.

Using stuff the corporation made and profited from.

Max Weber died in 1920, get some new economics.

The monopoly-on-violence claptrap gets shoved in my face whenever I argue against gun control on the Internet, so now you get a dose of it. Sorry. :)

Meanwhile, remind me what corporations built Stalin's infrastructure?
