Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?
Allero@lemmy.today 9 months agoThe only way is to capture the means of production - they’re only owned by corporations because some legal papers say so.
Corporations can and constantly do kill independent initiatives. It’s actually super easy, and doesn’t require anything but big cash reserves allowing them to wage price wars.
Besides, it is simply impractical to reinvent existing economy, and it will get to the same point over time. We can skip this and move directly into the factories that are already built.

That’s impossible because it will require bloodshes in which millions of people will die, whereas a non-profit cooperative effort can provide people goods for free, especially when fully automated. And corporations can’t beat free.
You might want a war but the rest of us don’t, and we can solve our problems through peaceful means.
