I do agree with you, the solution I offer is far from ideal. It was only meant to be provocative and make people think about alternatives, as you did.
More broadly, the way I see the situation, is that corporations are really a way for a group of people to get together and in-corporate the group, therefore create an entity acting as a separate person.
This creates an imbalance: a corporation can be created, like any natural organism is born, but never share social responsibilities for its impacts on society, and may never die either, as long as money gets funnelled into it. This is unnatural, and makes the corporation totally adversary to the needs of the societies it grows in.
More than the mere search of profit, the problem may be the pursuit or a never-ending existence, often at any cost. At any human cost for sure. Which is insane and destructive. It's the very definition of the golem.
