Your socialism is showing.  I didn't see the reason for this at first, but it does mean that if the rich are gonna get richer, it's probably going to involve making some of the poor richer too.

This I don't see.  Yes, three people who can get together for the purpose of manufacturing can form a separate club for the purpose of block voting and profit sharing, but...why?

And provisions for distributing same to members.

This'll be a pain in the butt, unless you're thinking of a Minister of Societies.  Otherwise, if I form a club out of the blue, and add a couple members, I can't go corporate unless I somehow find a minister first?

>*It must have a method for adding new members

A good idea, along with provision for losing members, but why make it mandatory?

Interesting.  I myself had actually been considering the flip side.  Let's see what I can do about that...
