Gregory's Server@realn2s Yes, I think it’s very good!
When you have several multinational, highly profitable corporations simultaneously conducting mass layoffs, I think it becomes clear that monopolies are failure states.
When you have capitalists taking advantage of discrepancies in fundamental human rights to create a market (e.g. cheap clothes made in terrible conditions), you’ve got a failure condition.
I think the core issue is capitalism as religion.
@samir @realn2s A way to combat the monopolization of markets is with policies that foster the creation and growth of worker cooperatives and unions.
* Mergers are antithetical to unions
* More union power makes mergers more difficult leaving room in the market for competitors.
* Worker co-ops naturally splinter at scale leaving making their market dominance regional at best.
All of this works within a free market framework.
