Anti-Corporate Movement

This community is the first one on lemmy of its kind. It sits between the idea of anarchism/anti-capitalism and left leaning economic policy.

Our goal is to make people aware of the dangers of corporate control, its influence on governments and people as well as the small but steady abrasion of empathy around the world indirectly caused by it.

Current topics this includes but is not limited to:

Feel free to debate this but beware, corporate rhetoric is not welcome here. If you have arguments, bring them on. If its rhetoric trying to defend the evil actions of corporations, we will know and you will go.

Our declared goal so far is to have all companies and individuals worldwide capped at 999 mil USD in all assets, including ownership of other companies, sister companies and marital assets. The reason for this is that companies (and individuals) are not supposed to resemble small(?) countries with a single leader(-board) and shareholder primacy. Thats why we feel like they must be kept in check indefinitely.

But companies will just wander off The argument that large companies will just wander off is valid, which we embrace. We dont need microsoft, apple, google, amazon and other trillion dollar companies. There are small competitors being kept small and driven into brankruptcy by anti competitive behavior of these giants or simply bought up and closed. If starbucks left tomorrow, we would not have an issue with this.

But then we have x little microsofts that all belong to the same person(s) If in fact nobody was allowed to accumulate more than 999 mil in assets, they would not be able to own all these. And like defending agains burglary, it is not about complete defence but time and effort. You only have to keep the thief occupied long enough for them to be caught, give up or make a mistake.

But these giants have tons of IP which would then limit our growth Thats another topic we must touch on. We will (only this one time) take a page out of russias playbook and demand that IP of non complying companies (assets over 999 mil USD) will be declared invalid, which opens them up to be copied.

But then they will "live" in one country that doesnt accept this Correct, and they should be taken into custody the moment they enter the airspace of a country that supports this act.

Today we stand together with our brothers and sisters in germany, protesting for freedom and democracy, against hate and oppression.

One reason we oppose large corporations is for them imposing authoritarian structures and withstanding Democratic rule of the people.

They give rise and even financially support the far right and fascist movements around the world. They actively oppose freedom and diversity.

Some people have been attacked by brainwashed migrant children who think its cool to hate. They were taught so by radicalized members of their communities and hate inducing German media.

It is very important for us to stand united against hate, against the perversely rich minority that does not contribute it's fair share to our society and lives like kings while leaving the rest to fight for scraps. Those who steer the masses towards hate with their media conglomerates.

For this reason we'd like to share with you some communities who need our help and can help us unite and organize to stand up against this horror.
