"I might quibble with changing the idea of "corporations" too drastically. Corporations are
ultimately just voluntary associations for conducting an economic activity, and outlawing
corporations seems to me to be attacking the idea of "freedom of association"."
No.
"Reverse the decision which made corporations "persons" ..."
Persons, as "equal to you or myself" kind of persons.
I have no problem with corporations designed to perform or deliver certain functions or services.
What I have a problem with is "corporations as persons" which have come to expect certain "rights" and privileges equal to, and in some cases superseding, our own human rights, mine and yours.
Corporations must, in my view, remain subservient to the needs of human beings for human beings to maintain a sustainable environment, planet (the only one we have), our home in this universe.
As it stands now, corporations which must, by law, deliver a profit to shareholders, often do so at the expense of the "rest of us" and we simply cannot afford such a scenario long term if we are to survive as a species.
