🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)Much like ACAB, even "good" corporations are still fucking corporations.
Brand loyalty is a parasocial relationship.
Darkas Vim@alice 100% Corporations are not people. They do not have rights. They should be politically neutral. We shouldn't have to practice social activism based upon where we buy plywood.
Honestly corporations shouldn't exist at all.

The governments benefit more from corporations than anyone else because the governments get huge taxes from those corporations and on addition to that the employees in those corporations are also taxed by the government. If the corporations are not to exist, would the governments allow that to happen?

@nuwagaba2 Maybe in normal countries but here in Trumpistan corporations pay little taxes.
@Darkasvim
That's right. Corporations. Might pay less taxes but the employees within them are the ones who carry the heaviest tax burden . That's how it works in my own country. How will inequality be reduced if the ones with the biggest amounts of money pay less in taxes than those with small amounts?

@nuwagaba2 It's like that here too, but corporations have many of the same rights as individuals as far as being able to make political donations and using their vast amounts of money to influence our elected officials.

Cool. A new system is still needed as the old one has failed. Can I share with you about my project?

MikeStok@Darkasvim @alice @mralancooper maybe they should exist, but be dissolved when their short term goal is achieved.
MeaningfulBits@MikeStok @Darkasvim @alice @mralancooper sorry our short term goal is infinite growth at all costs... /s

They should exist, but they should be owned by their workers. This system is already up and running. It just needs to scale up. Worker self-owned, worker self managed workplaces not only exist, but in most cases they’re thriving. They range in size from a single pizza joint run by a handful of hippies to a multi-million dollar, multi-national holding company.
See:
nojhan, Cassandre de l’analyse systémique@Darkasvim @alice The ownership is the key problem. If companies were owned by the workers who create their value, things would certainly be different.
