Realistically, the average person has exactly 0 chance of "removing" either a government or a big multinational company.

However, the average person at least has some teeny tiny say in government via democratic processes and oversights. They have zero power against a big company unless they are a major shareholder.

The fundamental difference of "one person, one vote" and "one dollar, one vote" should not be lost in this discussion.

Big bureaucracies are terribly disempowering no matter who runs them, but in government at least you have some tiny amount of representation vs zero in the private sector.
