What is that word Marxists like to use to describe unreal objects that people think are real? Fetish? You see a bogeyman called a "corporation." You are fetishing the corporation. I see tens, hundreds, thousands of contracts between real people intended to actualize a real end. The entity is an acknowledged legal fiction that minimizes transaction costs. That is all. "Exxon" is simply a shorthand way to describe thousands of real people acting in a united way, and the corporate form provides an expedient way of organizing those real people. ...What is the fantasy?
