Is there any doubt about whether changing government or corporations is easier?

I recently posted in a diary by ANKOSS, called Bloggers awake! I very much like the general thrust of that diary, which concluded with

The facts are plain. Blogging without direct action is an impotent evolutionary dead-end for Internet politics. We must learn to use the Internet to mobilize EFFECTIVE political action. It is time to awaken from the enfeebling trance of empty emotional blog posting. It is time to take action.

However, the diary specifically suggested an action against a corporation, instead of an “action” targetting government. And even worse, IMO, was that there was no mention of an “action” targetting government, which had the specific electoral goal of getting better Congress critters elected.
