Fascism is not the opposite of communism.

It’s not fascism to want secure borders, conservative values meaning less government, and since the democrats ran off the working class wanting companies to move their factories from the slave pits in China back to America. Regardless if Desantis or some other republican wins they will be labeled the same it’s all politics. Divisive and the opposite of unity which is what many were sold but politics nonetheless.
Don’t let the senile kid sniffer ruffle your feathers, what else can he run on increasing inflation?
Slave pits in China?
Whatever do you mean?

That entity is the property of the shareholders, the owners. Their ownership interest is private property. Again, who is anyone to say they can’t use their private property in furtherance of their individual or collective political opinion.

Again to their own benefit.
You Dress it as opinion but it’s not only opinion. It’s also financial benefit.

WuWei:
Actually it is.
If piercing the corporate veil wasn’t a thing in this country then you’d be right.
It is in every way not a person when it stand to lose but suddenly becomes a person when it stands to gain benefit.

Humans act individually and/or collectively. Every corporate action is determined, and implemented by the human, or humans, holding the decision making positions in the corporation. Same is true about unions, social organizations and governments. In each case it is actual humans actually setting the policies and making the decisions. Who are any of you to tell individuals that they can’t use their private property (their equity in the corporation) to individually or collectively express their opinions and engage in the political process.
Do you truly believe the millions of shareholders are really enabled to “express their will” by the law that makes corporations persons?
Might want to think about the past forty years of American politics, and the past 20 since CU was passed.

I agree with all that.
I only take issue with defining a corporation as a person. That’s all I’ve done regarding that in this thread.
It denatures the actual meaning of person.

It’s not a collective political opinion.
It’s the opinion oftentimes of management, many of whom own very little of the stock of the corporations they manage.
Or if it is the opinion of the shareholders, it’s a small number of shareholders that happen to own a majority of the stock.
If it was a one shareholder one vote type of situation, you would have a point.
But it’s not, so this idea fails.

A corporation is an organization legally authorized to act as a single entity to preserve rights.
