It's why anarcho-capitalism has always sat poorly with me.
I guess you could hope that people would start seeing the corporation as "the man" and actively resisting. I don't think that idea holds much water though.

Really, it seems like all forms of anarchy suffer from one flaw: Someone's going to be looking for power. You'd need something to prevent that, but that would require some organization, which is counter to the point of anarchy. I've never seen anyone argue for a version that didn't contain this. It's...hard to imagine one, honestly.

EDIT: Ninja'd twice. Ah well.
