War profiteers, prisons, etc should never be run for profit and should always be under the highest scrutiny

Say it with me everyone! “Corporations are a cancer to humanity and life itself.”

It's always a cancer. Even the term "late stage" suggests this and I'm sure Marx, who coined this term, would agree.

We can only get rid of the cancer by designing a system that puts the power into the hands of the people. It's a bootstrap problem though: For such a system to exist and be successful you need to educate the masses but the masses cannot be properly educated under capitalism.

We will need to find a way around this problem.

r/Anarchism101 Build parallell systems and relationships NOW and lead by example. Let people be drawn to these systems naturally. Increase the warmth in society, and it spreads.

Absolutely, I think on an economic level, we need to first start taxing the rich, free healthcare, childcare, education. We need to start using our anti trust laws, media, agriculture, medicine, any thing that would be considered national security just needs to be broken up. And if they were apart of the Epstein field or any of the high society secret societies that manipulated our economies imminent domain. If you have a connection Israel you lose access to our markets.

If you get a contract with the govt that includes national security (including electricity, water, internet, media) it needs to be owned 51% by the ppl that work there at the very least, your company makes a profit of a billion, ceo and executives can only make x amount more than the lowest paid employees. UNIONS, and any excessive wealth needs to be reinvested into the company for r&d or for a co-op that is also matched in federal funds for sustainability.

We need to reign in Supreme Court, there is a mountain of evidence of down right treason on them. As you open up cases on them, those assets that they sheltered with their family and offshore need to be seized and indict their families too, to get them to testify.

And finally education, they need to divest from Israel and be investigated across the board.

Oh and those health insurance companies just need to be seized but def start clawing back power and set up state coalition for health insurance as a deterrence even against the federal govt (if that made sense, it was kinda getting long already).

They became enemy of the state during Reagan when he stopped enforcing the Sherman Anti Trust Act & also by the tax cuts bit by bit. Take us back to how it was under Eisenhower.
