"Apparently blinded by Ayn Rand's ideas, they seemingly cannot fathom the possibility that a big corporation can be anything but "good." This sort of blindness does not bode well for your proposed experiment."



Ayn Rand has been a burden to the libertarian movement in more ways than one. Big corporations are often in the forefront of pushing for statist big government proposals.

I'd go farther and say that in many ways big corporations are identical to statist big government -- and why not? Both are in control of vast power, both are governed by human beings, and both are interested in expanding their power by almost any means available to them, and both are institutionally interested in separating as far as possible the exercise of power from those most directly affected by it.
