I dont even need full blown communism, just a world without corporations...that would be amazing

Corporations are whatever we define them to be.
They're only legal structures which we could construct to be beneficial, or as we see in modern times, others could mold to rob society of greater good.
The problem isn't corporations, the problem is humans don't have the consistent will to build societies that prevent and punish greed.

you say the problem is not punishing greed. okay. let's follow your last sentence to it's logical conclusion.... how exactly (in today's corporate controlled society) would we punish greed? keeping in mind, greed at the level of corporations is inarguably the single most salient and damaging type of greed.
could the answer have anything to do with say, corporations?

Anarchists biggest threat has always been tankies. Biggest backstabbers around.
