Of course, they are consequences of today&#x27;s corporate capitalism!<p>To have a shiny vision of capitalism, that just is not compatible with reality, does not help. Communism&#x27;s failure was not, that it was not a nice idea, it&#x27;s failure was, that it&#x27;s thoughts where not compatible with reality!<p>Reality is, that international corporations have huge stacks of money and plenty of lawyers and lobbyists. And they use it for the only ethics they got: profits.<p>And TTP, inequality, centralization, unemployment ... are results of the thrive to more and more profits for the owning people at the expense of the working people.<p>Today&#x27;s capitalism is shaped by the profit motive -- and the profit motive has no morals and no ethics.<p>And when you talk about &quot;free market&quot; -- there is no such thing. A real free market would give everybody the same chance. But the situation today is, that the big corporations are shaping the laws and the small players can not. So there is no such thing as a free market with free and equal competition in reality.
