Wow, great, you could come up with a SINGLE example for a company with State-like powers, and that was 200 years ago.Read a little history. HE came with a single example, because you ASKED for an example. Read history books on the issue, and you'll find tons of other examples.
From Shell in Nigeria, to United Fruit Company in Latin America, to the big coprs in Hitler's Germany. E.g:
"""Big business developed an increasingly close partnership with the Nazi government as it became increasingly organized. Business leaders supported the government's political and military goals, and in exchange, the government pursued economic policies that maximized the profits of its business allies. Nazi Germany transferred public ownership and public services into the private sector, while other Western capitalist countries strove for increased state ownership of industry."""
There are tons of other examples. Not to mention that the question is quite brain-damaged: corporations don't make war directly, hiring an army and such.
They make them by exercizing political and financial influence. And that is not usually done by a single company: it's done by multiple corporate interests, that pursue their goals in tandem. E.g the so-called "millitary-industrial complex".
>It takes 100 billions to wage war in Iraq. Top tier companies make that much in REVENUE, not even profit. How would you expect them to spend so much? Your point does not make sense.
LOL. They don't spend "so much". That's not how it works. It's like he's explaining that to a ten year old.
Corporations bribe the right persons, create the right conditions, push and influence policy and such, and let the people of a country (or several) fight. That is, what corporations do is diverting governments and politicians, from serving the people, to doing their work for them.
