I am not terribly impressed by this statement, because there are all kinds of corporations in the world.

Some sell flowers. Others publish books. Some build homes. Others sell holidays. Some cook food. Some sell gold. Some make clothes. Some sell boats. Some sell Internet subscription packages. Some make chairs. Some sell bottles. Some sell conferences. Some make movies. Some build roads. Some make shoes. Some sell medicines. Some make cooking pots. Some make watches. Some run schools. Some make planes. Some sell pencils. Some make glass. Some build airports. Some make cameras. Some make rubber hoses. Some sell spectacles. Some make bricks. Some sell carpets. Some make chocolates. Some grow fruits. Some make golf clubs. Some sell electrical plugs. Some refine oil. Some make paint. Some sell radios. Some make space rocket parts. Some sell condoms. Some offer bus services. Some operate gyms. Some run hotels. Some sell server space. Some manufacture batteries. Some sell burgers. Some sell beds and mattresses.

I don't think you can make any easy generalisations about corporations inflicting horror on the world.
