(8,879 posts)to regulate said corporation. When this happens, the corporation claims a sovereignty typically reserved for the state. Corporations are not sovereign entities. If we can't kill them if the need arises, they are too damned powerful. We need to right a wrong by breaking the dangerous corps up.

(5,178 posts)Well, at least, when the people care enough to make it work for others and not just themselves.
We are all blessed with the free will to assume (or not) a mantle of ownership of the very corporations bleeding our country and our world dry. It is no secret what they are doing. Heck, thanks to Citizens United, they are more than our equals. They are more human than human. Wasn't by accident. Takes a lot of grabbing hands to take so much in so little time.
Corporations are people. The most right wing, anti-progressive, racist, misogynistic, war mongering, climate denying and straight up greedy people one could ever hope to know. The fact that so many are aware of this, and still rally around them, says far more about themselves and how seriously they take the ideal of democracy for all than any platitudes they could conjure up.
