As long as for-profit corporations exist - and they appear to be well-established to continue to do so for the near-future - we must deal with them as they are, not as we wish them to be (ie well-regulated or gone).

Too many people have gotten so accustomed to "deal[ing] with them as they are" that they've lost sight of the real problem entirely.

Look man, "Abolish for-profit corporations, and all that implies" has significant support on here, but not so much in meatspace America. Most of us are trying to play the cards we have with the players we have.

They haven't 'lost sight' of the real problem, they disagree that there is a problem to begin with. And we, as leftists, have to work against that being the dominant view. But that's groundwork, and boycotts are action for more immediate purposes. Two entirely different undertakings.

Still weird that you're white-knighting for Sony, though.

Weird that you're on here arguing with people instead of changing the laws. If they're not doing enough, then what the fuck are you doing?
