IMO anybody who promotes competition and antimonopoly is a working class hero.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Competition" is not a working class interest. Solidarity is.

Yeah well Monopoly isn't solidarity, it's oppression, so fighting that is good in my book.

A liberal fights a monopoly by competition, so that no single capitalist gains more profits over the other capitalists.

A socialist fights a monopoly by socializing it and making it a utility that works to meet the needs of the population, eliminating the profit motive.

Lack of alternatives is always bad, the needs of the population are rarely homogeneous.

And the true enemy endorses monopoly, so I'm happy to call liberals my friends.

Sure, no problem with that, but they're not "working class heroes", which is what I reacted to in the first place.
