All valid objections, but how does this draw any contrast with life under the state? Under which scenario would it be easier to steal--as a lone corporation or as an established centralized government?

The AC argument as I understand it is that AC is preferable, not perfect, so anything that is equally bad under statism is moot. I can see it being much more difficult for a private individual running a private company to seize power than an individual member of the state with the coercive apparatus already in place. George Bush is more likely to seize dictatorial power than Warren Buffett.
