So I’m wondering—

A standard libertarian/right-wing argument is that government has no business doing anything but protecting our individual rights. No regulation. No welfare. No help of any kind, no restrictions on corporate America.
But if this is what libertarians think, why don’t they oppose corporations?
Yes, I know the government’s power to authorize corporations is specified in the Constitution. But to take one example, Tibor Machan, Freedom Communications’ former on-staff libertarian philosopher, has proposed amendments that would make the government more libertarian (no regulation of business!). Yet I’ve never heard him advocate for ending corporations.
Corporations are hardly a natural right like free speech or religion. Or like the right to do business or trade. They’re a government construct, a legal entity that gives its owner protection from liability for the corporation’s actions——which is hardly a natural right (Machan’s a big believer in settling things in court).
Okay, obviously someone like Machan, on a corporate payroll, is hardly going to advocate for an end to corporations. But I don’t hear any other libertarians advocate it either. They just demand more protection for corporations: Less regulation, more immunity to lawsuits.
That would make libertarians more apologists for corporate America than champions of personal freedom.
