Yes, I agree. Indeed, it's a question of where you stand. Presently, the collective agreement is that the 'justified murder' is only the state' prerogative and only whenever they are enforcing the laws (whichever they invent themselves in that way or another). A company is just a legal person and as such if we recognize their abilities to invent laws for themselves and justify that on their own, we, in fact, plunge the society into the state of anarchy. So, perhaps, some people would say it's good, but most of the people (whomever I call "sane") would respectfully disagree. Just compare the tone of the two questions:

1. "What's good for the most successful corporations is always, ultimately, good for all of us."
2. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a fundamentally good idea"

Why not say something like that: "The success of the corporations is fundamentally beneficial for the society." (Agree/Disagree). People would be able to relate to that much easier than to the "always right" stuff, wouldn't they?

And that was my whole point.
