Big Evil Corporations! Run Away!

In Shadowrun there are 7 big corporations that run everything. those corporations are run by...well by dragons. While certain parts of this situation are pure fiction (there will obviously be 6 corporations run by dragons), I believe that on the whole there is an element of truth to it.

about 50 years ago people were really angry at countries, namely the USSR and Cuba. Now countries still do nasty things, but they have been overshadowed by the wonders of capitalism. the fact that the term anti-trust even exists is quite disturbing in itself and the fact that there are many companies which completely abuse their power without a significant backlash is even worse. I'm not going to get into the details of all the evil things that happen all over the globe (including in the west) but I think it's important that we all realise that corporations should not own the world. They are worse for us than professional politicians who fear the general population becoming so educated that we realise what a bunch of useless bastards they all are.
