Furthermore, as Lenin explained, there later develops “state monopoly capitalism”, whereby big business is able to twist governmental policy in its favour, leading to a greater fusion between the state and the major capitalist corporations. But the way they operate, we can’t stomach Nutella anymore.” 5 things to know about Nutella and rivals Demir said Ferrero and other global companies sourcing Turkey’s hazelnuts provide tools and fertilizers for the farmers, paying for their harvests in advance. They “are running their own show,” Demir said, calling on Turkey’s competition authority to intervene.

Let us see how this applies to the situation in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Oompa-Loompas are paid by Willy Wonka – the business owner – in chocolate. Immediately we can see the exploitation. Imagine that a single Oompa-Loompa makes, on average, 10kg of chocolate in a day. But these hard workers are then each paid with just 2kg of chocolate, leaving 8kg for Willy Wonka, the capitalist, to sell at a profit. Farmers in leading hazelnut exporter Turkey accuse Italy’s Ferrero confectionary, which churns out Nutella, of abusing its near monopoly to force down prices. Wonka has created such a monopoly. After years without being seen in public, he is still the face of chocolate production and has even managed to get a small army of Oompa-Loompas smuggled into the UK, presumably with the tacit collusion of the Home Office. This suggests that Wonka’s business has become such an important monopoly within the wider economy that the government has allowed Oompa-Loompas to come to Britain without any documentation. Beyond this, Wonka is able to pay them with chocolate rather than money, which suggests the bending of the law – if not the breaking of it. The presence of a welfare system within the company allows the Oompa-Loompas to feel that they are being treated well (though whether or not dental care is provided is left up to the imagination), when in fact Willy Wonka is profiting considerably from their labour.For many first-time visitors to London and Atlantic City, the cities honoured in the most popular versions of the game, walking the streets is like travelling through a real-life Monopoly world. Pall Mall, Mayfair, the Strand, Fenchurch Street, Bond Street and the Angel, Islington – to millions around the world these are Monopoly squares rather than real places. Steve Almond, author of CandyFreak , says bringing a new candy bar to mainstream markets as an independent producer today is “virtually impossible.” New products come out every year around the globe and have slightly eaten into Ferrero’s dominance, Euromonitor International and sector analysts say. Some players like to draw deep psychoanalytical conclusions from a player’s taste in Monopoly piece – choosing the car, iron, boat, top hat, dog or boot supposedly holds deep implications for your character and personality. Had Nutella been buying our hazelnuts on fair terms, if it didn’t oppress us, we would be proud and eat it ourselves,” he said.

The world consumes more than 300,000 tons of Nutella a year – a figure that is often, if bizarrely, compared to the similar weight of New York’s Empire State Building. Do you prefer Nutella or Nocciolata? With or without palm oil in your spread? More chocolate, more hazelnut or even peanut? Roaming the candy aisle of my neighborhood Safeway around Halloween is a dizzying encounter with choice. Or so it seems.In Akyazı, where farmers dry their harvest on tarpaulins spread across their front yards, producer Şimşek said he wants to break his dependence on the Italians as soon as he can.

In January 2018, when customers fought to get their hands on cut-price jars of Nutella in French supermarkets, the story made world headlines. This pattern of consolidation has helped thin the market down to around 150 candy producers today. From those 150, Mars and Hershey control around 75 percent of the national chocolate market, and 60 percent of the US candy market overall. A Ferrero spokesman told the Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the Italian company does not directly “own or manage farms in Turkey and does not source hazelnuts directly from farmers.” As early as the 1920s, a man named Dan Layman produced a commercial version of the game after encountering Magie’s game at college. Layman’s game was called ‘Finance’, because his legal advice suggested that the name ‘Monopoly’ could not be protected because of the earlier game.Undaunted, Darrow printed 5,000 copies of Monopoly and began to sell it under his own steam. The game was a hit in local stores, prompting Parker Bros to return in 1935 to buy the rights and make Monopoly into the fastest-selling board game in America. The object of the game is to move around the virtual cityscape, acquiring property and extracting rents along the way. Little plastic houses increase the rent, but beware the pitfalls of Chance and Community Chest cards – worst among them, the dreaded jail. Magie’s game spread through the disparate Quaker communities of the eastern United States, along the way changing its name from ‘The Landlord’s Game’ to ‘Auction Monopoly’ and eventually just ‘Monopoly’.

Producers are scared of speaking out against Ferrero,” said Şener Bayraktar, who heads Akyazı’s chamber of agriculture.

The vision for Marxists is socialism: a society in which the means of production are commonly owned, with an end to private ownership, competition and production for profit. In a capitalist society, as Marx noted, the free competition of the market actually leads to the creation of monopolies, as it has for the chocolate sector in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where Wonka has blown all competition out of the water. Producer Cabbar Saka already feels like he has no choice, selling his entire month’s harvest to traders working on behalf of the Italian company. It “procures the hazelnuts it needs for its products respecting free market regulations and based on market dynamics,” the Ferrero spokesperson said. John Cadbury hoped chocolate would tempt us away from the demon drink. And the famous family company he created cared as much for its people as its profits. Perhaps Wonka would attempt to highlight his benevolence towards his employees – for example in giving his workers full creative musical freedoms with regard to singing songs about Augustus Gloop (suggesting a union movement). But such “freedoms” are only a fig leaf to cover capitalism’s economic exploitation of the workers.
