I think "corporations" in the phrase "evil corporations" is shorthand for "capitalist fat-cats who run corporations". There's obviously nothing inherantly evil about a legally recognized business enterprise.

Now: there's such a thing as "corporate behavior". A company takes certain actions that are the result of committee thinking and impersonal decisions. While I don't think I'd use the word "evil" to describe it, companies (by which I mean the groups of people running companies) are motivated by financial concerns most of the time, and their interest in people is generally a secondary concern at best.
