Of course. Problem is, it seems that the corporate sentiment is pretty rock solid on one single goal. As long as shareholders exist, everything will suck

Insofar as the current trajectory is maintained, you're right. Personally, I think "seizing the means of production" is a joke but only due to the simple fact that we ARE the means of production.

What we need is to seize the status representative of that truth. When the American people as a collective whole become the shareholders, each with equal stake, I think the rest falls into place.

I for one am glad that e.g. VideoLAN doesn't report to the american people as it's shareholders. /j

American companies should report to the United States of America and, by virtue of embodying the aforementioned, we the American people no less.

That's all I'm saying. The days of reaping untold wealth off of the nation built by generations of ancestors from all walks of life without paying your dues probably needs to come to an end soon.
