This is the way to fight back against corporate fascism.

If I may amend our founding documents:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
humans made of flesh and blood are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments political, economic, educational and religious institutions are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed People, --That whenever any Form of Government powerful social instituion becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government institutions, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments institutions long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government institutions, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
