unprofitable businesses are dropped

While demand reduction is a part of the strategy of anticorporate and animal rights activists, there have been cases where violent action achieved lasting results. British department stores stopped selling fur when arson losses and insurance surcharges for fur exceeded fur profits. When something is only marginally profitable, monkeywrenching adds costs that can eat up the profits.

It is also simple business logic that unprofitable businesses are dropped. On a larger scale, the OVERTHROW of Hitler and Mussolini(a lasting result) was only possible through the massive shooting,shelling,torpedoing,and bombing violence called WWII. Violent dictators understand only force,while their corporate sponsors(like IG Farben or shell)understand money ,too.
