 When lawyers tell you "The state is not a corporation", they don't understand the fundamental concept you are trying to convey.
Lawyers are indoctrinated by the legal system which is fully fabricated BY the government.
When a lawyer says this, they mean the term "corporation" means a fictional "corpus" that is recognised BY the state. When they say "the state" they mean the legal system that recognises laws defined by a legislature (rather than common law organically discovered through juritical arbitration.)
This is like saying Ethereum is not a shitcoin because it is the mother of all shitcoins. 
 Yes. You are correct. It is sad and will require much suffering to remedy. Good news is, American's in general are so wealthy and comfortable that nothing will change until the pain gets going. Then. And only then, will we see any semblance of real change. 

I used to hope to be around to see it, but it'll be brutal. So I guess I could take it to leave it. Regardless, someone will need to excise the cancer, might just happen too late? Dunno, fuck it. We just keep trucking and being our best. 
 The government can not survive in an environment of free speech. #TheNostr and #Bitcoin will cast it into the bottomless pit and truth will chain it there for eternity. 
 Lawyers are state employees
