Default Re: less government = socialism?

Is there proof that one can confidently predict this (the first part)?

I think history and economic theory bear this point out, but I'm not sure I could 'prove' this point. (pvn's point about externalizing costs is an excellent one, though--I'm not sure how providing corporations with a huge powerful entity known as the State could possibly help the workers and the poor).

In any case, shouldn't we be looking for non-violent and non-authoritarian methods of fighting domination and exploitation? WHy would we want to rely on an expolitative and authoritarian state to fight exploitative and authoritative corporations?
