I can simply stop buying from them
Okay, then. Stop using google because their search is shit. Oh wait, you pretty much can’t, because it’s fuckin everywhere.
Well, just go start up your own Internet, I guess!
Seriously, it’s baffling how propertarians (like my stepdad) can explicitly acknowledge ongoing monopolies, and still offer shallow, pathetic advice like ‘just buy from somebody else’ or ‘just start your own business’. That doesn’t fix anything; putting a band‐aid on an ax wound would be a better idea.
Troll him, preferably with a surprising but falsely reassuring response like ‘Good point. You really showed me how wrong I was. I wish that I were as smart as you.’
Convincing anticommies to research anything that contradicts their meme ideology is like pulling teeth, so I usually don’t bother. It’s better to continue advancing your own education or talking with novice socialists to advance theirs. Devout antisocialists can wallow in their cluelessness for all I care.
Noted
It’s capitalism that requires a state, to protect the owning class from the working class. Under socialism, the purpose of the state is to keep the owning class from re-taking power. Once the owning class is fully extinct, a communist society can take root and abolish the state.
Draft
Markets are the most effective means of coordinating production and distribution of resources. That’s why Sears is dominating all the competition in retail. Oh wait.
Yea, markets are dog-eat-dog so that means companies have every right to be ruthless even if it means giving workers subhuman treatment.
