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?

Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.

” should make it obvious what kinds of corporations I’m talking about: the kinds that are privately owned, including the ones on so-called “public” stock exchanges.

It’s not corporations function to be ethical. Their function is to make the biggest profit possible and they will be evil as fuck, if there are no repercussions.

Corporations need to be constrained by law and oversight. Current trend is the opposite and we will be creating monsters to lead our future AI powered oligarchies.

All of the biggest ones … no corporation should be allowed to amass so much wealth that they could literally control entire countries or regions of the world. The fact that this level of power and control exists means we value money and capital over human life or even more terribly the value of millions of human lives.

Tyson.

Iirc, largest meat supplier. Which means they are a huge catalyst to the industry that literally profits on death and misery more than any other.

Their products are corpses, their human workers are in the industry with the highest rate of PTSD from their jobs, and by simply existing they’re helping create superviruses by fostering cramped sheds of half-dead animals that can barely move sleeping on their own shit and being kept alive just long enough to slaughter, using powerful antibiotics that will become useless a lot faster than if we used those antibiotics to protect humans instead of giving the perfect environment for viruses to adapt to and overcome them.

Fuck the whole animal agriculture industry, and extra fuck the biggest corps behind them.

Don’t forget the massive amounts of toxic dumping they engage in, which to the best of my knowledge, has not been remediated.

If I get a single shot it’s Nestle for sure.

Multiple shots? bp, shell, exxon for obvious reasons.
