it's basic math

no two ways abt it

i believe there are maybe ways to make capitalism work w/out exploitation (marx would disagree w me here btw), but the existence of corporations make it impossible

and i dont mean corporations as in the vague 'oooh corporations are bad' rhetoric, i mean corporations as the specific definable entities that they are

basically if you take the most basic marxist principals of commodity trade, or more specifically, the capitalist mode of production, and combine them with the principal that corporations by their nature are singularly concerned with a maximized bottom line (specifically because they answer only to an anonymous group of shareholders who's sole purpose is share that same concern), exploitation is the inevitable result

the cold part about is if you take this inevitability and project it through the imperialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, etc that we've built, it's easy to see who's set up to win/lose

i have no idea if this is at all relevant to what you were posting about, but it's what it made me think of lol
