If we lived in a Plutocracy, our leader would probably be thinking, " Democracy is dead, long live greedy accumulation"; an exclamation that reveals the 'spirit' of that which has come to rule our lives. Its personally disabling to realize,that such an artificial means established to make possible the exchange of commodities, rules our diurnal existence; but to have allowed it to dominate the political field and to overthrow the principles of democracy constitutes absolute negligence.Of course, we have been neglegent in other respects also; like creating "legal fictions" to monopolize the creation of 'money as a social value'. In spite of the social necessity for such a creation, there should have evolved commensurate levels of control. Of course, we are all aware of the antitrust laws that were passed to control potential abuse by our "legal fictions", but we are also aware that they are being 'Powellized'. Slowly, the holy dollar ascends to the pinnacle of power. The statutory control to prevent abuse by corporations, which obviously hasn't worked, could also be applied by regulating the provisions in the Articles of Incorporation of economic corporations. Corporations don't have to be immortal! Since they're legal fictions, their existence can be controlled by limiting their existence in the same way that human existence is limited. Why should a legal fiction have a "perpetual" existence when a real human being doesn't. Maybe, a requirement that follows the statistics of the Life Expectancy tables? For example, a requirement to renew corporate charters, every so often, could require a 'history ' of compliance with the antitrust provisions, as well as some contribution to the democratic spirit of society. The latter is the most important aspect because if human beings are expected to 'behave' democratically, why not also a legal fiction? The only reason for such a provision is the failure of the Courts to be impartial.The so-called Party loyalty enshrined in Court decisions by Judges is harmful to the democratic spirit. Neither Party has a right to enshrine Party ideology into Court decisions. That is not the function of a Judiciary. That deconstructs democracy. Court decisions should not be 'politically devious': they should impartially interpret the Constitution persuant to the underlying triadic form of a democracy, a government "of people", "by people" and "for people".
