A construct cannot be negative or positive. Only people can be.
I read that thread and I agree with your opponent. If freedom is STS then send me to Orion hell.
Having sovereignty over the fruits of my own labour is natural law and I won't abandon that for anything. It's not attachment - it's an unwillingness to be a slave.
Communism is slavery. Corporations in the West do not have slaves. There is a form of mental enslavement in some cases - mind control - but aside from this these corporations are engaging with people on a voluntary basis.
Do you consider self-employment to be choosing your master? It's not. And neither is choosing to work for a company that does good in the world and is aligned with your values. A great example is Whole Foods. They don't have slaves. They have equal partners who contract with them voluntarily on a win-win basis.
