@EugeneMcParland The state seizing the means of production. In 2023. Lol
@EugeneMcParland what makes it somewhat ironic is that many of these companies, including Danone, could have walked out of Russia in 2022 like many others. The companies in question have been the subject of public outcry and pointed out as sponsors of war and genocide.
But nevertheless they choose to stay for the fat profits.
