Pretty sure you know I meant the government in the world of Blade Runner but whatevs.
So if neither government or big business in incorruptible what makes you think the takedown of capitalism would lead to better results for the working class?
Better question in relation to the topic. What keeps a capitalist like me from enjoying a movie about an evil corporation as opposed to an evil government?

I think there's the matter of how an uneven distribution of resources and finances results in less-than-ideal conditions for the working class and how capitalism allows (or even encourages) that imbalance to exist in order to thrive.
As for your other question - I would say it's because an evil corporation is an obvious indictment of a specific economic philosophy whereas an evil government can theoretically be depicted as vague enough in its actual politics that one could personally project whatever politics they like (or don't like, rather) onto it. It's like vampires - do they represent modern/foreign decadence that'll destroy humankind by undermining the traditional values that society is founded on or do they represent antiquated isolationist notions that continue to impede the continued development and survival of humankind? Something like that, anyway.
