    “Competition” is not a working class interest. Solidarity is.

      Yeah well Monopoly isn’t solidarity, it’s oppression, so fighting that is good in my book.

        A liberal fights a monopoly by competition, so that no single capitalist gains more profits over the other capitalists.

        A socialist fights a monopoly by socializing it and making it a utility that works to meet the needs of the population, eliminating the profit motive.

            Sure, no problem with that, but they’re not “working class heroes”, which is what I reacted to in the first place.
