I dont really expect any of my ideas to make it into the final form of a constitution, but they are useful for thought execizes, and let's assume the following for this one:
-The National Chorus is given the authority to create charters for businesses hoping for a similar shielding that Corporations have today.
-Businesses must register at the Federal Level given the failure of states to properly regulate corporations.
-Capitalism has no right to consider itself an inherently useful and non dangerous ideology, merely needs to be shown that it always causes statification and corruption being baseline criticisms, but the fact that Capitalism was used to deliberately delay the already herculean task of climate change means that Capitalism may NEVER make the defense that "it works better than the other systems." It doesn't. It just a pretty good system that works until it runs out of other people's money to pay for it.
-Since the new government will bypass the existing congress, there is no inherent obligation to preserve the existing status quo since almost all money earned in the last 50 years was earned by theft or corrupt regulatory capture. That means all if it is subject to ethical claw back.
-Therefore, former corporations will be forced to PROVE that they provide a public benefit to the new society rather than just automatically retain its liscence to operate. It can be turned into a worker owned collective charged by the government. Almost all wealth in America is created by theft, which means all of it can be redistributed.
With these postulates, I will throw out the idea of killing two birds with one stone. Use companies willing to help the new government transition as getting a 20 year moratorium on their disolution in the United States as long as they dont try to transfer their wealth out of the United States, provide an accepted public good (besides making profit for their shareholders), and that they dont fund conservativism or other terrorists or enemies of the United States at home and abroad.
This will create a herd effect. As businesses begin to realize that the new constitutional movement is serious, they will realize that the talk of disbanding them will also be taken seriously. Capitalist help to promote and encourage the new government could speed the movement directly. Enemy companies that want to take away the right of the people to rewrite the constitution without being bound to the rules set by slave owners; fully in compliance with international law, would make the case in their future trial before the National Chorus that their company should not be granted a charter and in certain cases, like Fox News, referred to the Hague for trial on Crimes Against Humanity for climate change denial.
Companies that elected to responsibile governance structures, including encouraging unions and encouraging worker ownership of a significant amount of the company would be welcome in the new regime. Organizations that elected to champion fascism would and should be treated accordingly.
Eventually, a philosophy that is coherent and opposing Capitalism will emerge, but for now, taking anti capitalist steps including severe financial regulation, total destruction of business free speech, and the requirement that federal charters be used to force these organizations to serve the public that allows them to exist are all steps in the right direction that could actually work.
