Posted a comment directly to Doug's blog but apparently he doesn't approve of it or think it adds to the discussion. I thought that I was actually supporting some of his argument.  Here it is:<p>Hey Doug,
“Corporations” in the simplest sense are just groups of people acting together (usually towards shared goals). This is not bad or evil in and of itself. “Corporatism” as I would define it is the partnership/collusion between some of these groups and the state.<p>I do not believe we can or should stop cooperation between people, and placing limits on which actions cooperating groups are allowed to take is just as wrong as placing those restrictions on the people themselves.<p>There are many, many things wrong with the way we treat corporations here today, but this usually has to do with the privilege granted to many to be free from law and regulation that individuals and other groups of individuals who are not in partnership with the state are bound by.<p>*Edited to fix a typo.
