I would prefer to say “all publicly traded corporations are effectively amoral, and capable of any imaginable evil, if it is in their interests. It’s just a question of when their interests will align with an evil action.”
Private ownership of capital is antisocial and antidemocratic. Owner-operated private businesses, the classic “Mom and Pop” store, are still antidemocratic, but much more distinctive in character, and may be more pro-social. Worker-owned cooperatives are significantly better altogether.
