"All of the rights that corporations have stem from a public-interest grant by the state." Go on... "Corporations aren't actual people, they're statutory people. Little branches of the government." Oh. I'd be ecstatic if we resumed chartering of corporations. If corporations are "people", we should be able to "unpeople" (terminate) them. I've long hoped that progressives and libertarians could find common ground over the need to reign in corporations. I've always found it weird that "freedom from oppression" minded people prefer Big Corp over Big Govt. As you point out, corporations are just more government, but without all that troublesome accountability, transparency, and democratic oversight.
