you don't have to discuss that with them. your goal is to give them the tools to counter the paulite/randite crap.

aside from which, I have a whole book of case studies on worker owned large enterprises - worker democracy - the running of whole factories. it's been done and there's no reason it can't be done.

also, aren't non-profits corporations? are they incorporated the same way that a for profit corp is? if so, then you have an example of corporate personhood that isn't evil.

that's all you need in order to show that the problem isn't corporate personhood.

the problem is a state apparatus that lets corporations get away with shit, an apparatus that continually makes supreme court rulings in the favor of corporations and in opposition to the lives of humans, the entire planet.

that tack will take you a lot farther.

remember: any audience can only handle three major idea, at most.
