these characteristics create a virus-like psuedo-entity that always tries to take the resources of ordinary humans, with real legal responsibilities and liability for their actions, and co-opt those resources for it's non-conscious purposes.

that's why corporations, especially the large multi-national corporations, have become a threat to democracy.

not because they are evil, but because they are a-moral super-persons without legal responsibility.
