The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.

Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.

What foul company would you erase for good and why?

    with the exception of some mom and pop cornershops, some state owned corporations and almost all worker-owned cooperatives, pretty much all of them can go. but i’d start with palantir.

    News corp. They’re the single most effective driver of fascist influence in the 21st century among the politically passive part of the population. Everything that all these other companies do is underpinned by News Corp outlets like Fox, The Sun, etc. justifying, equivocating, scapegoating and propagandising.

    Pretty much anything over 10,000 employees. You can’t really organise that many people in a productive way. Let’s face it… You’re exploiting something.

    Why do people only hit the nail on Nestle? Yes yes I do agree they are bad and need to disapear…

    But haven’t you all heard about CocaCola? Who destroyed whole villages’ water source? Whole ecosystems to produce enough space to grow their ingredients?

    CocaCola is probably as evil as Nestle, they are on the same level of evilness !

    I mean, all that are privately owned. A system that puts profit above all else will never have any corporation that acts ethically and in the interest of society.

    But I also wanna mention, Nestlé isn’t a particularly evil corporation. It’s just the only food corporation where we know these things they’ve been up to but you can be damn sure the others aren’t any better.

    I did think of Nestle as well, and another one, Tata. They’re infamous for stealing land belonging to indigenous people in India. In 2006, the state police of the Orissa government shot 12 people, including a child, in a crowd protesting state-sponsored land grabbing. https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/asa200012007en.pdf

    The most iron-rich part of India, Bastar, is also the poorest, and with the most number of Maoist militias. This is no coincidence. Tribal people make up only 9% of the country’s population, but more than 40% of the land used to build ‘development’ projects belonged originally to them. The most mineral rich areas in India, and the world, are some of the poorest because the industries are not publicly owned.

    To be honest, I can think of much, much worse. Union Carbide, Adani, Aveo, which was funding a drug epidemic in Nigeria, they’re all bad. There’s no good capitalist.

    I wanted to say Meta but reading things like Nestlé reminded me there are other companies that are equally as bad.

    Now I wonder if Nestlé can be considered more evil than Meta because Meta influences the population on such a low level that it affects everyone.
    Thanks to those fuckheads at Meta (not the devs trying to make a living) Any developed country went so far right it’s almost unbelievable how fast it turned.

    I was also thinking Nestlé before I clicked through. They want to corner the market on water. WTF!

    Blackstone inc.

    Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide

    Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

      All corporations are evil, but this one has a special place in my heart’s hell. Blackstone’s Invitation Homes robbed me of $3k and ruined my credit for years.

        What’s an invitation home? Can you elaborate? We want to get a home someday, but I’m not aware of all the nuances yet.

          It’s a shell corp they use to buy up all the residential housing in cities across the US, and with a nice name like Invitation Homes who would ever guess that they’re a multinational conglomerate? As long as you’re not renting you should be fine other than the fact that corporate rentals, ‘investment properties’, and Airbnb have cannibalized the housing market. Good luck.
