Rule No. 1 of fighting fascism — do not obey in advance — crumbles as major newspapers kill endorsements to appease Trump.

They might be obeying, but you don’t need to.

    because it would just be to hard to make money at some point that we would want to titrate to make sure no company becomes a monopoly.

    Sure, however having multiple avenues of preventing megacorps from forming is better. It’s easy for a powerful corp to undo one or two regulations, but not so much if it is a cohesive system of regulations.

    Honestly I think we should outlaw holding companies and such.

    Absolutely agreed.

    Only allow stock to be owned individually by individuals.

    I’d say we should go a step further and kill the stock market in it’s entirety through a moratorium on IPOs.

      With no market would there be stocks? I prefer companies owned by many people over one person or family owning the company.

        Agreed, which is why the stock market needs to go. The only way for labor to truly own their workplace is if they’re the only ones who can control it (within reason). A stock market allows for the rich to single-handedly buy up a majority of the shares and control a company.

        Instead, every company should eventually be turned into co-op nonprofits.
