I am against corporations in every way that they currently exist - the profit motive, the eternal life, the shielding of investors from personal liability - all mistakes.

I am against capitalism in all its forms. Between free enterprise and socialism, I don't think there's any more of a need for it than there is a need for rape in a healthy sexual culture.

I am against investment markets in the sense of any of the legal fictions created since the early seventies, all of which I think we would be better off if we simply outlawed again.

I am against democracy. I live in a constitutionally limited republic, and I like it that way (or would if our government was allowed by capitalism to function). Mob rule terrifies me equally to that of dictatorship.
