Indeed, if the drafters had forseen corporatism many things might have been different. And then there is the organized persecution of peers for their horribly offensive (read differing) opinions that is allowed by our modern communication tools. Is freedom of speech freedom to persecute? Maybe having really bad ideas should become a protected class? I say that only half jokingly, I have no answers.

I don't know how much guidance we can take from the original drafters on the novel problems of the modern era.
