They are a legal fiction designed purely to divert financial responsibility for a large business from one singular person, encouraging people to build large businesses so that if it all comes crashing down, you can just chapter 7 your way out of it and call it a day, and not be stuck in eternal debt or what have you. Anything else is illusory.

So there are no people in them? It's just an illusion? They only look like people? Or are you saying they are comprised of people, but those people forfeit all their individual rights such as being able to challenge laws passed restricting their behavior? I already know you think they shouldn't be able to engage in free expression, but for fuck's sake. They have to challenge state laws in state courts, don't they? That's not exactly neutral ground. It's the very least a person (or a group of people, even if they are organized under such a scary word like "corporation" or "church") ought to be able to do. Unless we're finally going to drop the pretense that democracy (and the EU ain't even all that democratic to begin with) isn't just a majoritarian dictatorship.

There are people in them who have unalienable rights as individuals. That they are allowed to join said group is a protected right, but the group itself needs no more rights than it needs to operate as it is supposed to operate (the right to stand trial, own property, and incur debt).
Unlike political advocacy organizations, political activity is not an integral part of the corporate assembly and therefore needs not be protected.

Using that logic you could ban political parties from taking part in the political sphere.
