  Winnie the Pooh and his buddies in the CCP are no more communist than Republicans are republican. They're a bunch of state capitalist scum.

    doesn't matter in this context, I only said the actual acronym of the actual party people don't want the CCP dictating western values, and thats the joke because western states don't dissolve corporations for bad actions

      > thats the joke because western states don't dissolve corporations for bad actions We used to. We should start doing it again. While we're at it, any corporation that wishes to operate in multiple states should be forced to incorporate at the Federal level. Congress has the authority to make this happen under the Commerce Clause. They just don't have the courage.

Congress has the authority to make this happen under the Commerce Clause. Correct, Congress has never made incorporation statutes for private citizens and instead opts for one-off charters for sovereign agencies and corporations I only know of a couple countries with different incorporation statutes at different administrative levels and so far I'm only aware of one country that has state level and federal incorporation statutes

        The problem is they are too big to fail: Not having a third-party offering real-time credit checks would tank our debt-driven world economy. The Government at every level are also customers. Having the Government nationalise them could be an effective punishment - but is this something you want the Government running instead?

Many people agree with this ideology. If corporations are people then they should be subject to laws that citizens are subjected to. Basically they should get a corporate death penalty. Company is dissolved, no longer allowed to operate and its assets are sold off to provide restitution to the victims of the crime.

  Meanwhile, the government abuses the CFAA as a "catch-all" to imprison anyone they target that has ever gained "unauthorized access" to a website (such as not following a website's ToS). https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/12/worst-law-technology-strikes-again-2017-review https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/12/worst-law-technology-s... Over-aggressive laws/enforcement against individuals with no power, extremely lenient enforcement against corporations breaking very similar laws. This is the status quo of the "justice" system in the US in the present.
