How would you prevent a company with gains from other means coming in and destroying a competitor only to start charging for their version after the other company goes under?

Corporations should honestly be banned outright. There's no actual reason to have them. Have workers' guilds do collective labor if it's that damn important, and ban the guilds from doing any of the evil shit corporations do.

That's just my opinion. I have a whole-ass treatise about what I'd put in a constitution and I might share it in the thread if people want to hear it.

Power doesn’t disappear. If it doesn’t exist in corporate form it’ll exist in political form.
