The mistake is assuming capitalism is the same as free markets. In a country where half of all spending is steered by government spending at all levels, the remaining half is steered by regulation and corruption, and all monetary policy is controlled by a central bank, there's no such thing as a free market in the US. In fact I'd say we're a lot closer to being communist than we are to being free, and it's an abject failure.
you can make the average libertarian today flip flop between loving and hating corporations based on who speaks against em
if a communist says amazon is evil for its monopoly and genuinely horrendous treatment of workers, then amazon is actually great and creates so many jobs and gets my wife's boyfriend's sex toys to my door the same day i order em...
if another libertarian says it then amazon is a corrupt commie shithole that abuses workers just like the soviets (or national socialists if the particular libertarian has never opened a book in his life, which is likely)
Libertarians are no more a monolith than any other group. But corporations are a legal fiction created by government. Government that gives them special rights, uses them to funnel cash to their friends, skirt the Constitution, etc. Any libertarian that loves corporations is no libertarian at all in my book. But that's just me.
