These multinationals are the modern day horsemen of the apocalypse-merchants of death, profiteers from disease, polluters on a global scale. They and the 200 or so other giant corporations are the pride of the capitalist system. And they express all that is wrong with it. Capitalism is not as simple as a greedy state of mind. It is a particular way of organising society that developed in northern Europe two centuries ago and now dominates the world.
Every society needs to produce the wherewithal for people to live and sustain the next generation.
It creates a majority class, the working class, who collectively do the work, and a minority, the capitalists, who own or control the means of production. That happened at the birth of capitalism. The early British capitalists forced peasants off the land into cities where they had no way of surviving other than selling their ability to work to someone else. Today laws and repressive institutions like the police defend the capitalists' monopoly of the means of production. It is perfectly legal to shut a factory, but illegal for workers to occupy one.
