Most anarchist tendencies would tear Goldman Sachs to shreds.

Even Rothbard wrote a pamphlet, I think he later disendorsed, justifying the breakup of any entity that contributes to war or state violence. I dont need to look up Goldman Sachs but I reckon I could justify them being in that box.

Anarchy the leftist tendency is the removal of Hierarchy. It can be debated into how you categorise that, but ultimately they all want corporations gone.

Its the right wing anarchists that are solely focused on the government



Hierarchy is not part of the definition of a corporation. There are worker-owned cooperatives which are incorporated.


Yes, you could have a corporation that does not have an internal hierarchy. But (in a left anarchist view) you cant have a corporation without private property and corporate limitation of liability. Both of those are (in their view) hierarchical.

The problem from a left anarchist standpoint isn't (just) "CEO is boss, having boss bad" its that there's a group of people with special treatment everyone else is not subject to.

You might disagree with that view, and probably do. I am just familiar enough with their ideas to relay and explain them.
