What if Anonymous were to declare war on Corporations?

Corporations and Anonymous seem to be duals of each other.

Corporations depend on identity. What are corporations except disembodied identity? Corporations have their origins in Slavery. It was a way for a slave to become a person, that was used by capitalists to protect themselves from lawsuits. It was a way for the wealth to be preserved beyond the life of the owner of the business so the business could have a life of its own beyond that of the founder and his heirs. And it has become a way for people to avoid having responsibility for the actions of the organization. When those actions are bad there is no accountability. For instance in the recent financial crisis where no one has been brought to justice for the Frauds that led to the economic collapse.

Corporations have grown to such an extent that they control the economy, and in fact the entire culture is inundated by corporations and their actions. It has come to look like there was no force that could stem the tide of corporate organization of society. Even States cannot control global corporations.

But now Anonymous has appeared with the power to disclose information that the corporations would like to keep secret and would be damaging to them. Anonymous is anti-identity. Anonymous is about complete freedom through anonymity. So they would seem to be natural enemies.

Is the HPGary attack the opening salvo in a war between Anonymous and Corporations?

tynamite's avatar They tried that and failed. Anonymous and Lulzsec working together to do #AntiSec and hack banks, governments and corporations. Look how far that got Lulzsec. Lulzsec got doxed by Team Poison (a part of Anonymous) and one of them is locked up.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
