If only they remained small competing cells. But nearly always grows more and eat the others. Then the big cells say they have to make their employees piss in bottles to survive. They use the arguments of what small cells do to survive to justify the business model that made them huge and allowed them to kill all the small cells.

It’s an arms race dynamic of cut-throatedness where the biggest bastard is favored to win.

What a shit system. What a terrible and disgusting infection of the human mind.

Well creating an opposibg empire didn’t work out so great.

Capitalism is a belief system, you can’t beat ideas with guns.

There’s not going to be an anti-imperialist empire that successfully ends imperialism.

It exist only because it’s population is cajoled into accepting it as the only viable, profitable option.

Concentration of power is the social disease, it creates a “all the eggs in one basket” situation where one bandit can seize control of the whole.

It is a strange paradox that a society built on individual responsibility would be corrupted and usurped by its cooperation mechanism. And that the path to a semblance of decency is to cut down on cooperation to disempower those at the grotesque top.

And then maintain taboos to prevent tge concentrations fromvforming again. BECAUSE they are too profitable and power.

Make CEO a crime, make presidents weak, cut off the heads of kings.

Mores against concentrations of power, the folk wisdom to spot and unwind them and a taboo against abyone concentrating inordinate power onto their persons. A rejection of collaboration with those who wield leverage to orchestrate others intobdoing their bidding. A taboo against the trade of a human’s future labour profits. A taboo against non-working shareholders or any third party get a cut of profits. Destroy stock markets.

I think breaking down concentrations of power a returning it directly to those most affected by it on a local basis aligns more with that stated goals. I think utopian communism obscures the attainable and effective ways of morphing the structure of our political reality.

What?? Why would an organisation free of parasites, not trounce the “meritocratic” system?

What he means is the commulists still want to dominate workers for their own good, when they say “own the means of production” they are not going to let the actual workers do the owning. The commulists will own tge means of production on behalf of the workers instead of the current parasites.

Cooperatives would put the actual power in the hands of the workers and would stop external forces from directly interfering into their affairs and telling them how to work or what to work on or why.
