Have you ever done anything together with a group of other people? That is a company. That's why they are called companies. They are a group of people doing things.

That has existed for millions of years already. First as hunting companies, then as raiding companies. It exists in other species as well. It will never go away. It has existed in every human society, no matter what political or economical ideology.

The real question is how companies should be organized and owned.

If you conflate corporations with any grouping of people, then they're the same as cartels, gangs, feudal kingdoms...

Clearly we're talking about a specific modern legal entity with a specific organization that, as you say, can change.
