> The call to abolish corporate personhood, for example, betrays a lack of having thought anything about scale and organization.
I just had one of those head-spinning-around moments on reading this, like from a horror movie.
This is an astonishingly ignorant comment from someone who is so conspicuously intelligent on so many things: it betrays a breathtaking lack of understanding of the historical and legal issues at play in this debate. Good god, I hardly know where to begin. Let me start here: there is *absolutely nothing* even remotely defensible about the organisation-at-scale of human productive effort that the bullshit imputation of corporate personhood to LLCs (that's a stand-in) provides, that couldn't perfectly well be accommodated through some such legal principle as "legitimate enterprise interests," or something similar - except, of course, that niggling, shitty little deal about being able to snuggle in under the protections afforded to mortal political subjects under the imperfect but hard-won Bill of Rights.
You honestly think corporate personhood has something to do with *scale*? Holy shit, I'm dizzy.
Please just don't take up baseball, Doug.
