I'm not sure which side you're arguring for, but...

The people can do things.  The corporation itself is merely some
scraps of paper that say it exists.  The idea that a corporation
'acts' is a lie that corporation owners and workers tell others to
avoid legal responsibilities, and tell themselves to avoid feeling
guilty about their actions.  "Oh now, I'M not paying third-world
workers barely enough to avoid starvation, that's the corporation
that's doing that.  Its the CORPORATION'S fault that those people are
so underpaid that they're forced to sell their children into
indentured servitude making shoes, not mine.  I just work there."  Its
a fiction that helps rich people sleep at night, unburdened by the
guilt over the fact that they're destroying people's lives so they can
afford another vacation beach house.  Its the corporation that's doing
those horrible things, not them.
