Rise of the Corporate Charter Revocation Movement
 
A corporation has no heart, no soul, no morals.
 
 
When it hurts people or damages the environment, it will feel no sorrow or remorse because it is intrinsically unable to. (It may sometimes apologize, but that’s not remorse — that’s public relations.)
 
 
“A corporation cannot laugh or cry; it cannot enjoy the world or suffer with it,” as the Buddhist scholar David Loy put it. “Most of all a corporation cannot love.”
 
 
We demonize corporations for their unwavering pursuit of growth, power and wealth. Yet they are simply carrying out genetic orders. That’s exactly what they were designed — by us — to do!
 
 
Trying to rehabilitate a corporation, urging it to behave responsibly, is a fool’s game. The only way to change its behavior is to recode it, reprogram it, edit its DNA.
 
 
How can we accomplish this feat? It turns out it’s not so complicated after all.
 
 
We start by tampering with corporations’ genetic material: their corporate charters.
