There really needs to be more regulation. For instance how Facebook and Google just buy all the competition. Unfortunately introducing new regulations or enforcing current ones keeps getting harder due to corruption.

That is only a patch on a sinking ship. Capitalism will always lead to such "corruption" bc it strives for profits and when it hits a roadblock like regulations it will try to circumvent it. The system is just trash

All we have to do is force companies to increase profits by providing a better product or a lower price and not by sabotaging or eliminating the competition.

The class that holds power in society also controls the government. Under capitalism, the government will always represent the interests of big capitalists first and foremost.

Watch out for all the subsidiaries they have.

I don't understand this. Businesses are organizations of people that get together to produce something and sell it.

In this scenario is someone else producing the thing the business is restricting?

[-] Gebruikersnaam@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Water, land, and (existing) housing could be examples of this. However, I reckon the core point here is that while businesses are groups of people, there is social labor and private profit.
