    Yeah and both of those are bad. Product dumping kills local businesses, like how the US sending clothes overseas kills domestic textile industries, and processed food aid kills farms needed for self-sufficiency.

        Yeah, only megacorps and slave labor! Because fuck people owning the means of production, am I right?

          Small shops aren’t the means of production but the profit extraction still operates through robbing wage slaves of the surplus value they create. The petite bougie bosses you’re trying to shill for are some of the most reactionary elements that go straight for fascism because it promises them protections from international capital (which is defined as a conspiratorial cabal unlike domestic capital hence their almost anti-capitalist rhetoric sometimes). They’re also some of the most cruel because they directly cheat employees that they know and interact with personally.

          Yes, i want highly centralized production owned by the people not highly decentralized production owned by a multitude of petit-bourgeoisie. I want stuff to be abundant for everybody through mass production, not highly constrained by small scale production.
