Noam Chomsky provides an interesting discussion on the matter. He suggests that the idea of corporations having “rights” is only recent. They aren’t listed in the Constitution, are most often a tool for tyranny, their “rights” were achieved through courts and lawyers, the legal system was reshaped to give them power, and they are at the roots of fascism. There is no reason for them to exist.
