The failure to differentiate different categories of corporation is at the heart of the error that is Citizens United.

Sure, most people would agree that the various kinds of corporations formed for the purpose of doing something other than making money should be able to play a political role.

But I do not believe that most people would agree that corporations formed for the explicit and (generally) sole purpose of making money should have this ability.
