I've lost like 15 followers, probably over perceived inconsistency. I just view it as easier to promote markets and liberty within a framework of principle and justice than to promote principle and justice within a tribalist framework that pays lip-service to markets and liberty.

I've come to the conclusion that markets and liberty only serve justice if you don't create a massive bureaucratic system to diffuse accountability onto powerless faces and brands.

Statism creates moral hazard in a form that's almost a moral equivalent of the free-rider problem.

Creation of "legal persons" with rights of natural persons is summoning demons: introducing actors who are not subject to natural law into the market.

If a corporation is a person then it should be standard procedure to arrest and force to pay restitution (IE, nationalize) when a crime is committed.

That defeats the real purpose of corporate law, which is to make it impossible to prove the occurrence of either individual or collective wrongdoing in the process of business.

Larger organizations of people are like larger swarms of fish: they exist to make things harder for predators. Only, predators in this specific human context serve to keep society functional.

The problem is that our intuitions about justice (It's better for 10 guilty men to go free etc) is at odds with the practical feedback loops necessary to prevent the processes you're describing from riding roughshod over everyone else.

Larger organizations should inherently cost more than smaller organizations, and it should scale proportionally.
