I think they were specifically addressing the single sentence they cited. And i'd have to agree that the people actually planting, growing, and harvesting the bananas fit the word "producer" much more than either a boss or a corporation or whatever boogeyman you want to imagine. I'd also agree that those planters and harvesters are probably underpaid in comparison to the corporations and bosses. I'd also like if people's hard labor were rewarded closer to the actual value they produce. Does this make me a communist?

- samtheprogram 3y agoIf we want to be pedantic, the corporation is producing the export, coordinating _harvesters_ with transportation and final sale of the good — and paying the harvesters before they’ve made a cent. Pedantry and calling something “propaganda” out of nowhere does. If anything, by that line of thinking this “propaganda” enables us to pay the harvesters more money. Right? Hallelujah!
- skyyler 3y agoYou used words like "labor" and "value" in the same sentence, so you're sounding like a pinko at the very least. /s
