The impression I've gotten from the ASG, Pandoropedia, and other places on the net are that the RDA is a corporation with a great deal of power, but they are not absolute. They have to follow the rules laid down by the UN Space Charter and it isn't like they can just do whatever they please whenever they want.
The ASG left me with the impression that the RDA is the biggest obstacle to the human race moving forward (in the universe of the movie, of course) and reclaiming both our world and our heritage as a sentient species. They're in the way of progress, in other words, and the anti-RDA "Resistance" is doing whatever they can to undermine the RDA. Indeed, the introduction to the ASG states that their explicit fundamental goal is to stop the RDA and dismantle it. I also got the impression that the "Resistance" is interested in using the extracts and products of some Pandoran flora and fauna to help heal Earth and restore it. This is why they look to Pandora and the Na'vi for answers. The last sentence in the introduction says that about as strongly as it needs to be said. I never got the impression that all the wildlife/wilderness on Earth is either dead or gone, just that Earth's ecosystem is very, very battered and will not last much longer if it continues that path. Which is why I hope James Cameron comes up with a way for the anti-RDA movement to succeed so that Earth can be saved from the worst tendencies of the human race.
