A strong government could take down corporations, but it has to want to do it first.

Perhaps if we invent some sort of system where a temporary voice-person or policy-person, with a career in legal matters who are chosen by asking each individual of a fairly defined district until a consensus is formed, gets sent to a meeting hall for other district's persons to meet and discuss broad policies. Then, if that that person fails to meet expectations of constituents they don't get their contract renewed and somebody else gets sent.

We could call it a "Vote-archy." Idk, just spit-balling here.

People would be immediately disillusioned when they didn't immediately get their need met and corporations would swoop in and capture regulatory bodies.
