Dow chemical; lack of progress be damned, not being poisoned en masse would be amazing for the human race. Honestly nestle would have been my first choice but you got me thinking.

Microsoft...

Embrace Extend and Extinguish is a masterpeace idea created by them.

Lots of Lobbyism and political people working for Microsoft managed to change an entire city to switch the OS even though everyone was for keeping it how it is. Additionally sending government emails to places to enforce the usage of Windows, while in reality, those were people working for Microsoft and abusing their Political email address.

They are so fucked up on the capitalism game. Also MSN is a huge lie because it only> exists for Propaganda... but its like every news page tbh...n

Just here to add Adobe to the list

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.

No one can touch them

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.

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 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.

Every advertise company. I believe the world would be better if people would stop trying to sell other people stuff they don't need.

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 !

Black Rock,

Google

Oil companies dude , shit ruined the environment so many times and never even aaid sorry nor attempt to clean up their mess

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!

So angry at Nestle and the time they killed all those African babies doesn't even hit your highlight reel. I agree- we can do without Nestle.

The Catholic Church.

Congress. Oh you said corporations, not their property, my bad.

Palantir needs to fucking go.

All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They've never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.

See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.

So. Many. Choices. Not sure I can pick one.

Blackrock.

Meta

Nestle, Shell, BP, prager U, PayPal (interac please), Uline, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, that dollar store brand.

All of these have destroyed the environment, destroyed our democracy, or destroyed our small cities and towns.

Yes.

Corecivic

Chiquita and Dole basically started American military backed wars in south and Central American to exploit the land to grow fruits.

Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin's war machine in one go.

For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.
