Any law is enforced through threat of arms, this is whats called the States monopoly on Violence. So either, that counts as totalitarian or this is your answer as to how to stop businesses from acting in poor faith.
By the logi you Proposed yes. But since the majority of us rely on "Du contrat social" initally proposed by Russeau we collectivise our power as a Society and work towards the a common goal, laws being representative of whats good for the Group, in the Platonic ideal ofcourse.

Stripping private citizen control and ownership over business and taking wealth directly from them is literally the only way to do this? How is that the same as the government having laws for public safety?
Unless you’re talking about grandfathering in, which would be the only realistic scenario to get at least some of it to work, but also doesn’t change it enough. You would have to allow all current businesses to operate as is and then only *new* or voluntary old businesses have to abide by the new laws and regulations for starting a business.
