This is what Libertarians WANT. They want corporations to have freedom to be corrupt in anyway they deem that would suite their business interests (i.e. freedom from any pesky govt. rule of law).

you have absolutely zero understanding of what libertarians are or what they want.

Russia is the land of eternal corruption. It makes no difference if czars, catholics, communists or capitalists run the place. In the Russian system you will be shaken down for your last ruble and it has nothing to do with what political system you espouse. Russians cater to the tough guy until he is gunned down and another takes his place.

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."
