Can Democracy exist in a Capitalistic Corporate Society?

Can a viable Democracy exist in a Capitalistic Corporate Society? Sounds like an Oxymoron, yet both a Democracy and a Corporate economy exist within a Social. The Social is constituted by both Real Individuals and Legal Fictions to wit; the 'Business Corporation'. Of course, everyone knows that Corporations are not 'Real Persons' and are protected by the 'Constitution'. The Constitution also 'protects' the Real Individual, but the Real Individual is 'born' in Freedom and Equality and that Freedom and Equality must be protected by the Constitution. The Corporation is not a Natural Entity, its an 'Economic Construction' and it cannot 'function', cannot be 'Motored', with Freedom and Equality. If the Corporate Structure was 'Motored' with Freedom and Equality, it would 'self-destruct'. A Business Corporation must make a 'Profit' and 'Grow Larger' in Size to remain viable. Its a 'Machine' that generates 'Greed'. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court thought it prudent to protect its 'Legal Fiction'. At this point, we must go from there. The Business Corporation is a 'Construction' and it seems possible that it can be constructed to be more Democratic. Why not? Why create an 'Autocratic' Economic Construction in a Democratic Social and protect it with the Constitution? Now, be careful, I'm not saying that the 'entire Construction' should be 'Democratic', but certainly, some of its functions should also serve the 'Democratic Social'. For instance, every Business Corporate Structure should be required to have its own Department where some of its 'own Profits' are used to serve 'Medical Needs' and 'Medical Research'. Why should all Profits just generate 'Greed', 'Size', and 'More and More of the Same' and just make the 1% fatter and fatter? And there are many other areas where a 'Democratic Social' needs 'Help'. And these and 'similar changes' should also be required by 'Law' and by our 'Esteemed Supreme Court'. If the Supreme Court can create an 'economic entity' that 'exists' only 'in Contemplation of Law', it can also create a more 'Democratic Corporate Structure'.
