>things that don't really exist and are not human have human rights

>it isn't just about the money

>>155127
Fucking this.

>>155127
That's what happens when you have an entity like that state that has a monopoly on coercion. They get to decide what is deserving of so-called "rights" and what is not.

>>155165
Stop blaming everything on the state and fucking open your eyes. Capitalism is NOT perfect.

>>155171
>Capitalism is NOT perfect.

Explain please.

Enormous concentrations of wealth, and the power and influence that they wield, is a threat to democracy itself.

Their money has poisoned our campaigns with 30-second ads, rather than principled and rational debate. Their influence props up a two party system, that delivers nothing but a false choice between two corporatist candidates.

Recognizing corporations as being equal to American citizens under our Constitution is an affront to the founding principles of this nation.

Industrial Revolution's consequences for the vast majority of people, colonialism, WWI, the Depression.

>>155199

Nothing human made can EVER be perfect, but, thats just the short hand. For the long hand, well, just look at whats going on, right now.

>>155217
>Recognizing corporations as being equal to American citizens under our Constitution is an affront to the founding principles of this nation.

FUCKING THIS.

>>155217
The State decided that corporations were persons in order to further their owner agenda. That's why they are legally bound to give them the rights that are owed to all persons under the US Constitution (14th Amendment, read it.)

Incidentally, the 14th Amendment was the result of leftist sentiment. Yet another example of leftists screwing everything up for themselves and the rest of us.

I agree, corporations don't have rights.

So let's reign them in. Let's start with the US government, the biggest, most dangerous monopolistic corporation out there.

>>155249
>leftists
>give corporations rights
Where and how the fuck did people come to this fucking logic and conclusion?

>>155297
Leftist Politicians create 14th Amendment-> 14th Amendment is abused by Supreme Court to grant rights to corporations that they liked-> Eventually,Corporations are granted full rights as a person.

That is why Leftists, not Capitalists, are responsible for the Supreme Court's most recent decision.

>>155324
I'm sure the leftist from the late 1800's had this in mind.

>>155324
oh shut the fuck up troll

CORPORATIONS SHOULD BREED SUPER HUMANS.

I can't believe the civilized world is going to go down in flames whent he solution is right in front of our faces.

all these corporations flush with cash should truly invest in the future and start breeding kids with high iq's good looks and healthy bodies.

>>155359
You may be interested in the Fourth Reich. I can't believe Stormfront has taken this board back over. OR everyone is a troll, or an uneducated dolt.

>>155249

the state is a tool. you are blaming it for the actions of those who have hijacked it

murder weapons are not murderers

>>155341
That's the problem with leftists. They never think about the consequences of their "reforms" (especially when they involve the expansion of state power.)

>>155359
Corporations exist to produce profit and nothing more. If you want a benign authority to make your life better, get religion. Or a spine. Or just kill yourself.

>>155383
I don't think you can really anticipate the the supreme court will go full on retarded in about 140 or years.

>>155383
The difference is that the state, particularly in the United States, derives its power and authority from the people. So an expansion of state power should theoretically be in the public interest because the state is bound to serve the people.

Unlike corporations, which are bound to serve themselves.

>>155393
>the the

er that the

>>155391

And you wonder why we like to have some restrictions on them.

>>155405
The profit motive is good for society. The problem occurs when institutions (LIKE THE STATE) try to co-opt that motive for their own purposes. This is called "corporatism" and is a terrible system that can produce only tyranny.

>>155324
slippery slope fallacy is slippery, nigger
the failure here is not 14th amendment
it's farfetched supreme court interpretations and justices with faggoty political agendas

>>155414

Really, now? Pure profit, no restrictions? HOW CAN THAT NOT FUCK UP?!

>>155439

No, that's not even slippery slope, 140 years, there was no way to plan for that insanity.

>>155439
The failure is that of the lefitsts' and their assumptions about the State. To the leftist, the state is a perfect, rational entity devoted to serving its constituents. That is why they do not mind giving it total power over them.

>>155472
The failure is in the supreme court's decision. That decision may be influenced by corporations and their profit motive.

>>155497
>That decision may be influenced by corporations and their profit motive.

Possibly, but it is still the primary failure of the state and a fantastic argument against its continued existence.

>>155117
>Corporations
>it isn't just about the money

Look, I consider myself a libertarian, but even I know this article is garbage.

>>155394
>The difference is that the state, particularly in the United States, derives its power and authority from the people. So an expansion of state power should theoretically be in the public interest because the state is bound to serve the people

I'd like to remind everyone that, again, this is THEORETICALLY SPEAKING.

Actual lol to anyone who actually thinks the government works like this IRL.

>>155497
>The failure is in the supreme court's decision. That decision may be influenced by corporations and their profit motive

And not by the people, even though that is whom (the state and the courts) serve.

Poor poor, uninformed sheeps. You really believe all that you read right?
Well believe the truth for once: Leftists created the 14th amendment after the Rosa Parks incident. The main objective was to stop with the racism bullshit by allowing Black people to become citizens of America and declaring illegal any kind of discrimination by race.
Of course, right wingers needed to screw it up. I guess they thought that more bribe money in their pockets was worth screwing up the entire country for decades. Anyway, a few republitards, along with corrupt democrats, started to (as it was usual) make more sections and adding more content until they came up with the corporate personhood bullshit.

By now, they have more than enough power to prevent any law that seriously restricts their liberty to make money however the fuck they want to ever be approved.
Listen up kiddos: just because a few faggots want to play 'revolution' by saying that HURR DURR AL CORPORATION EVALllll! doesn't make it less true. Or are you too far brainwashed to acknowledge the simple fact that something who's target is to make money, will not give a shit for anything else?

>>155643
>sheeps
Stopped reading.

that is the single worst graph I may have ever seen

clearly OP is a massive faggot

Article is behind a paywall. can someone liberate it?

A lot of the corporate personhood bullshit is just doubletalk for supporting so-called commercial speech.

Commercial speech is the ability of large concentrations of wealth, both corporations and other special interest groups, to use massive amounts of money to influence elections with shitty attack adds, that dumb down the political process. Because they call it a right, it falls outside the purview of campaign finance laws.

This bullshit is the cancer that is killing American politics.
