Yea but you said things like "Corporations are not people. Stop it."
This is confusing to me, I have never heard anyone say a Cooperation was a person. Which makes me think you're responding to something very specific someone said?
I mean i guess I'm asking, which group do you think are making the claims you are addressing? If it is everyone reading it, well you've got most of us wrong I'd imagine.
@loke They are not legal persons they are legal entities. Similar but different. For example they cant vote, and lack many fundamental rights such as that.
Though if you think corporations have too much rights, that could be fair. I'd need specific examples to express an opinion there.
@freemo Well, I personally believe that corporations have too much rights. It does make sense to give them some degree of independence, but there is too much of it these days, allowing people to make decisions on behalf of the company and not take responsibility for the decisions they made.
I don't know to whom you wrote the original post, and I was just supplying some information to answer the explicit question in the post.
In the United States, cogitate personhood is a controversial subject. A corporation is, under vague American Law, entitled to personhood and is granted some rights of personhood (on request).
@freemo The group making that claim are most governments. Sadly corporations are legal persons according to the law in most places these days.
Here's some reading for you that may make you very sad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood
