fighting corporations via own business

I probably need to start my own business anyway to find any work, so why not try to make some money out of fighting the corporations too.

The idea of my business is to give it-support to regular people, but instead of only helping them with problems with windows and such, I want to instead gently help them start using linux, leave corporate social media in favour of fediverse, use opensource software, block ads. I think there is value to this for those people also because it helps one save money and stay safer in general.

I can also foresee a lot of resistance to this, so many have ideas about how linux for example is awful to use despite never even trying it, same with any other thing that deviates from the usual.

Also, in case the idea manages to succeed, I also want to plan some more fair way to distribute the profits than "owner takes most and workers can be happy if they get the scraps" model we currently have to endure everywhere. The workers should also have a say in how the company is run. But the problem with that is how to prevent bad people from getting in and ruining it for all. Probably more than that too.

This way it should hopefully easier to find help too though not initially, i think, since wages are tied to the amount of money made instead of some hard number that doesnt change even if profits go up.

The general idea of this whole thing is also to not just become another piece of shit exploiting others for own gain, that is how we have got into this mess in the first place.

Also, maybe on other fields there are similar ways to do the same?

Genuinely trying to help people and making some safeguards to prevent the whole thing, if successful, corrupting into yet another profit chasing monstrosity should do at least something. I dont think this fight will see its end at any of our lifetime, but as long as we keep at it, there is some hope.

  • In terms of your business model, a cooperative is an idea that exists already to solve some issues with modern corporate systems which you could take a look at.
