>What are corporations, other than an organization of individuals working toward the profitability of their shareholders?

Sorta, kinda... look up Carl Icahn and Thomas Lee.

>Individuals fight them by joining organizations, political action groups, unions, voting, publicizing, writing to their newspapers, web sites, all that stuff.

Yeah, but when the powerful can start to prevent them from exercising those rights by becoming so rich and powerful they can by the politicians, individuals are screwed.

>In a free society such as ours, we are only enslaved as much as we allow ourselves to be.

We ain't as free as you seem to think.
