"To demonize state authoritarianism while ignoring identical albeit contract-consecrated subservient arrangements in the large-scale corporations which control the world economy is fetishism at its worst. "

Except that some people "forget" that "state authoritarianism" is usually imposed involuntarily upon all inhabitants of a huge geographical land area, with essentially no competition at all.

Whereas contract-based systems generally include very high levels of competition.

So, calling them "identical" is laughably false. <<<<

Spoken like a true conservative that's never worked in a factory.  Its also easier to 'forget' - and lie-flat as they say in China - where social-security welfare-statism is more developed. 
So for many in the West statism is less to be feared and loathed than the activities of contract-based-systems causing environmental damage that can be seen from space.

Logging and Glyphosating huge geographical land areas doesn't exist on planet Dumbell?
