Is it time for a Corpicide Blacklist?

[stevietheman]

What I mean is... as a complement to BuyBlue, we could amass a blacklist of corporations that routinely screw their employees, customers, community or the environment, or who try to suppress criticism via SLAPP suits.

With such a blacklist, everyone knowledgeable of it would do everything legally possible to put companies on the list out of business, by avoiding the purchase of their products/services, discouraging people from working there, and pulling whatever other strings are available to see that the company goes out of business.

This is something I've considered for some time, but I wonder if anyone else likes the general idea, or is it a bad one? I'm open to suggestions.

How I arrived at this idea comes from the fact that we now have a government that is increasingly hostile to the concept that they are charged with reining in the gross overreaches and criminal behaviors of _some_ corporations. If the government won't do its job, we're going to have to do it ourselves.

1. i'd love some kind of guide

but it (unfortunately) would be easier to compile a worker and consumer friendly list of corporations as there are so few of them.

but it would be great to know the most egregious offenders.
