      Food companies all claimed their products critical because … Russians would starve without them, I guess? Considering the type of foods produced by Unilever (i.e. powderized garbage and snacks), I have my doubts though.

        Bullshit. Most even halfway-decent companies left. Unilever is run by complete bastards.

          A large percentage of the international food system is controlled by these companies:

          • Nestle - did not leave Russia
          • Danone/Dannon - did not leave Russia for a long time but has apparently sold the business now
          • Mars - did not leave Russia
          • Unilever - did not leave Russia
          • PepsiCo - did not fully leave Russia
          • Coca-Cola - did not fully leave Russia

      Why would the consumers be needed, when the rich would own the (automated) means of production?

          Well no one, but that will not be a problem for those who are already rich.
