If they did anything that would negatively effect profit they'd be removed by the Board and be subsequently unhirable. They'd have to martyr themselves for the proliteriat. They can't wisely invest into such sacrifice unless they've confidence in the prolitariat's ideological commitment.

It's ours to lead, theirs to follow.

Abolishing them is akin to abolishing capitalism itself. I'm all good with that.

We should also be aware that removing nearly all precedent for corporate personhood would heavily limit the negative consequences of their existence.
