    Yes, or at a bare minimum, CEO-proof everything and put more power in the hands of users of monolithic infrastructural utility products like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit

      Capitalism generally allows for a range of ownership structures, including traditional privately owned businesses, publicly traded corporations, and worker-owned enterprises.

      I guess an argument would be that privately owned companies are already too wealthy to allow for fair market competition, but in worker owned companies nothing is stopping them from becoming large corporations that can also do everything a private lobbyist company does. If you don’t believe me, just look at your democratically elected capitalist government. Just because something is democratic doesn’t mean it will be ethical or fair internally or externally.

      Personally, fuck capitalism… But everything that goes against capitalism isn’t the holy grail. Any system can be exploited in different ways, and it is just a matter of time until they are. The problem is not the system we use, the problem is corruption. Capitalism is fine IMO, but corrupted people figured out how to exploit it.
