Current Events > Time and again it's shown what so called free market capitalism leads to

(+) Yeah! (+)

One or two companies running everything in a single market. Or in some cases, in multiple. At this point corporate dystopia seems more likely than fascist.

But, if a company monopolizes the market, that just means they have the best product and everyone wins.

This is 100 true all the time, and if you disagree uracommie.

It really makes me wish Anti capitalists activists could some actual results or some could run a communist country without immediately turning into a shitty dictatorship

I think most people just want a bit more regulation.

This. While a case can be made that all profit made off the work of others is theft by definition, most people dont actually want to abolish billionaires. They just want them to stop treating their workers like shit and actually be held accountable when they break the law.

Mfw profit seeking capitalists continue to seek profit to the detriment of the consumer.

This is an impossible task in a systemwhere capitalists have disproportionately more power than any other person.

Small steps can be made. Not all countries have such terrible worker protections as America.

do you think they might get better results if the US didn't fund fascist counter-revolutionary groups and kill/kidnap democratically elected leaders?

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

A lot of those countries are also in the process of trying to strip protections back though.

As long as capitalist still hold the majority power, they can take back whatever power they give.
