I'll have to remember this trick - when I don't understand the meaning of something, just say that the meaning is wrong and that they're being condescending
I'll also have to remember that Capitalism is all about owning physical tools, not anything about making money from people doing work for you. So if I contract freelance kitchen staff to make and sell food for me, when they show up with their own knives, they are the capitalists, not me. Interesting!
- EarlKing 4y agoWe were discussing a self-employed man, not someone who has employees. You're moving the goalposts again. I have to ask: Do you actually own a business? Have you ever worked for yourself? This sort of condescension isn't the sort of thing common among working men, but is very common among the petit bourgeoisie who think they know better than everyone else. I'm just curious.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoThey asked about how their behavior is representative of capitalism, and learned it’s not. Your narrow description of capitalism would satisfy someone as radically anti capitalist as Bakunin Yes and yes, I’m a laborer and I wouldn’t take profits off someone else’s work unless we are all sharing the returns aka anarcho syndicalism. I can but won’t subject workers to the exploitation and role based hierarchies I myself escaped. It’s not necessary.
