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.

ACAB: All Corporations Are Bastards

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.

Alphabet and Meta.

They have a stranglehold on the internet that should never have been allowed to develop in the first place.

But reading the other replies I guess my kneejerk reaction is a bit egocentric. Surely others are more important because they fuck up people's lives directly, not just via the internet.

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.

Purdue Pharma and the entire Sackler family. I've witnessed so many horrible things done by Oxycontin-addicted people; knowing that history, I want to puke my guts out.

I'm deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir's data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.

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

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

Microsoft, Nestle, Alphabet, meta, all Elmo musk companies, Oracle, Rogers, Disney, all AI companies, all private equity companies, all gambling companies, all US health care insurrection companies

Not necessarily in order, just pick any

Blackrock.

Meta

It's interesting that the "worst" corporations mentioned by others here do not include any media companies.

Perhaps you might contemplate why it is that they appear to be "invisible" in a discussion about damage to society.

Is it possible that the narrative around "evil companies" is told by media companies?

All of em ☭

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

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.

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 don't think removing a corporation from existence would fix anything. We have a capitalist system killing the planet that has been extended to basically every country on the planet thanks to U.S. hegemony (which thankfully is coming to an end)

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

Yes.

Koch Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch,_Inc.

No one can touch them

Black Rock,

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just here to add Adobe to the list

The Catholic Church.

Nestle and it's not even close.

Palantir needs to fucking go.

Arasaka.

Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they're like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud ("misleading its investors") at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.

Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they're just the freaking worst.

Monsanto

Google

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

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

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.

Nobody gonna at least honorable mention Walmart? It's been a bane on local small business from the start, but it's also been funnelling wealth out of communities.

When employees have to both live off assistance AND can only afford to ship at Walmart with their employee discount, more wealth goes to Walmart than they ever pay the employee and the community just gets poorer all the meanwhile.

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.

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

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.

Google

Corecivic

Yes.

There are a lot of extremely strong candidates, but I’m gonna go with Meta on this one.

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

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

Church.

Amazon

All of them that don't have workplace democracy, and that have a leadership.

I know everyone always says Nestlé in threads like this but what are they still doing? What damage would you save by getting rid of them?
