The Corporation - " not the CIA, silly!" says Robin Hood.
It is clearly capable of being used for evil.
Henry the Eighth, he of the six wives, abolished many, nearly all the corporations in England and Wales at that time. These were the monasteries etc which had been used as tax avoidance devices and which enabled the Church at the time to oppose him rather strongly in his new policies.
A strong man, but forced into doing it. Couldn't happen now, the corporations would bribe him, even Henry, to stop it from happening.
Therefore they are here to stay. They will try to prevent any legal restrictions on their ability to bribe foreign countries, poison humans, and other interesting things in pursuit of profits for their shareholders and foir the management who have pay rigged to targets.
How do we, the victims of these corporations, fight back?
Captain Boycott was forced to sell up. A boycot is possible. So is "shorting" the stock of the corporation, if it is quoted on an exchange.
There are moves afoot, by capitalists, [steady now they are human at least!, well some are ;-)]to attack certain weak corporations by use of boycot and shorting stock.
Are there other ways? The law still is a good way provided the judges are not bought off by the corporations. It seems to be fairly common for judges to be bribable in certain countries. OK, we try and lose but they were in a fight and it costs them, and the judges and the system every time it happens. If they ratchet up the weapons they use then they threaten to provoke political change. This will eventually happen.
RICO actions and civil actions help this process. That W tries to prtevent access to the courts is likely to fail.....on legal grounds.......
What ever means is decided, we need to push them in an anarchic/organic way. Not organized as such, but even ton compete with them, using the ex-employees who have been discarded. Retirees can find that they are still capable of making profit now they do it for themselves and their neighbours.
