I still don't get how, in Anarcho-capitalism, people would have any chance against corporations exploiting both environment and population - especially since corporations, looking at things from an empirical point of view, seem to be quite happy to crony it up with each other whenever regulators aren't looking.

Last time you (jokingly, I suppose) suggested assassination of the CEO as a solution to the problem of "The people" vs "Blackwater/Xe" in a purely capitalistic society. I'm still not quite convinced that assassination is the kind of balancing mechanism that my kind of utopia would rely on. I suspect neither would you consider this seriously - if only because everyone knows CEOs live on Mt. Doom and one does not simply walk there.

So, again - who or what would keep corporations from screwing over land and people in a capitalist "do whatever the hell you want" scenario?
