"all you will ever get from corporations is fear of losing customers." I wish that were true; unfortunately, what you get is the measures corporations take to ensure a consumer base. Many of those actions and their ramifications result in the fearful shit. "Redbaiting" after WWII comes to mind. Manipulating elections in Italy because the US government and US corporations feared the effects on their influence in a Europe that turned away from capitalism. The overthrow of Mosaddeq in Iran, etc. The list goes on and on and on.
