Let's take a look at the Jungle Book as an example.
If people, rather than having a public outcry and forcing the food processing industry to conform to the Meat Inspection Act of 1907, they could have instead just started buying their food from companies that produced food without human fingers in it.
The free market pays for itself. The Chicago food industry would have just collapsed due to be out competed by other, less harsher factories and being embargoed and boycotted
Socialist reforms like the Meat Inspection Act are just irrational.

seizing the means of production from the chicago food industry by means of any armed force is just as irrational and violent too.

Upton Sinclair condemned government regulation like the meat inspection act because it made it the government's responsibility to reform the meat industry rather than punishing the corporations themselves.
Hunter Kelly
just punish the corporations by not buying from it.
boycott is a simple mechanic

boycotting doesn't won't do shit when a corporation has a monopoly over industry. Jesus fucking christ.
Jeremiah Lewis
then a group of people can just start their own company to protest the other.
no more monopoly

I got one question if a capitalist pollutes a whole towns drinking water and kills about half the people because the chemical that ended up in the water was colorless, flavorless, and tasteless wouldn't it technically be ok to kill or forcefully remove the capitalist that did it since he violated the NAP? If it's ok to shoot a person for stepping on your private property because they violated the NAP then why should it be different for a large business owner?
Caleb Mitchell
no because the toxic chemicals were the business owner's private property and the town itself was violating the NAP by existing. t. ancap
capitalism is saved, hooray.
Jaxson Rivera
I'm not an Anarcho-Capitalist. I don't believe killing or forceful removal is okay. If you don't like what the business owner is doing, just start your own business to compete with his, or if you already have a business try to lower harsh conditions. There is no need to be violent A business owner doesn't actively try to take your land
How? Just use your own property to start your own food processing factory + farm and you'll be fine. Monopolies won't drive you out if you are superior and they can't compete.

aaand looks like I win that was easy Holla Forums, looks like capitalism is right again!
Julian Kelly
Capitalism is good as it brings way to socialism, then communism. The same can be said for feudalism.
But your definition of socialism is both inaccurate, and so vague it can be applied to corporate subsidies, which are preventing economic collapse in most modern nation. Please read about things before posting.
But let's also not forget about the death toll of capitalism, that coupled with the extremely high wastefulness of the capitalist mode of production makes it inferior.
Labor deserves all it creates.

Bur before the meat inspection act companies could lie about there quality. So no-one knew what companies made good meat. Also that law was a social democrat policy, not a socialist one.
William Phillips
But everyone did know. The Jungle book is why the law passed so easily.
Aiden James
Nigga it wasn't a personal attack it was meant as a jab at the idea that if you just start a business and your superior that those you're trying to compete against means that you're going to just kill their monopoly. And before you scream cronyism let me remind you that Walmart and every big box store basically kills every small business around just by simply existing ie the problem would still exist if the market was truly "free."
Leo Rivera
New companies could just lie.
Justin Green
Besides no company should be allowed to do what the chicago meat industry did. It’s an issue of public health. Also the law stopped it so it was effective.
Ryan Thomas
why would they? that's a huge risk to play after seeing how Sinclair singlehandedly exposed them
they can't pay off every single muckraker.
literally how? I doubt a store that's better than Walmart would have an issue competing with a local Walmart.
Christian Watson
Companies lie all the fucking time. If it gets exposed. It fails. And the owner opens a new one.
Christopher Watson
Also big companies price products below profitable margins for a while to close compition. Small companies can’t do that because they’d go broke.
Adam Scott
Dude there's whole documentaries and books about how Walmart does really shitty business practices yet still manages to "out compete" everyone else just because every things ridiculously cheaper at Walmart.
Cooper Bailey
Here's an example: in the US, there is a huge heroin epidemic. This started because Purdue, who made Oxycontin, marketed the pill as a non-addictive all-purpose pain killer. This was a lie, as it was, in fact, addictive. But it didn't matter, since their losses in legal fees were less than their profit. Then, since Oxy got more expensive due to regulation as to who can get a perscription, people turned to heroin as it was the best available, chemically similar option.
Nolan Peterson
This is pretty good bait
Anthony Barnes
what's the documentary
