(I’m trying to adjust my shopping habits for quality, long-lasting goods from reputable brands. This isn’t some hailcorporate thing)

    indeed. I think it’s emblematic of the corrupting influence of money. When literally every company you can think of is engaging in arguably evil practices, it begs the question, was Marx right?

    Marx described Socialism not in any concrete terms, but as the result of revolution against corporate capitalism. When workers decide that they’re tired of evil corporations and wealthy class protecting only their own, and instead return power to the workers via coops and anti-monopolistic regulations. Investing in the welfare of the common people, instead of bailing out companies that are “too big to fail.”

    Everyday I become more socialist.
