If regulation didn't work, corpos wouldn't fight so hard to dismantle them every step of the way. If they didn't work, we wouldn't see things get markedly worse every time they're removed.

And ancap just sounds like all the worst bits of libertarianism taken to their illogical extreme and would produce one of the worst possible societies imaginable so why do any people here not hate ancap?

Worth highlighting that, at least in my opinion, regulation by a state isn't the only way to rein in corporate society-destroying impulses. If all "corporations" were worker owned and operated by the laborers you'd have lots of people "in charge" who like havingclean water and air in their community.

This is a critique of capitalism first and foremost, not of the "anarchist" part (again, admittedly debatable).

Absolutely agreed on that... Got a fair number of companies I'd like to see taken over by the people working them or the communities they serve

OK, they work, just both ways. Corps work to make them work more for them and less for everyone else. Since they have more power, they slowly succeed.

Ancap is one of the words for libertarianism.

and would produce one of the worst possible societies imaginable

I think a society valuing freedom and non-aggression above the rest in not that.
