No one is entitled to profit. It seems that you simply cannot afford to hire employees, and therefore you do not have a profitable business. It’s basic economics.
:spray-bottle: :panting:
Please someone hit me with the spray bottle, this is article is heating me up
Owning a business is not a right. If your business model can’t function because of labor costs then you’re a fucking idiot who should go out of business.
:bugs-stalin: wishing every small business owner a very happy bankruptcy.
this is hilariously why right-wingers will occasionally accuse us of being in league with large corporations, because we admit the reality of the competitive nature of capitalism
yeah, your small business is going to fail when it can’t compete with rising labor prices. No shit. Oh wait is the state supposed to intercede on the behalf of tiny businesses to keep it fair, no the state is already owned by the largest corporations
guess you gotta get a job like the rest of us, mr small business tyrant
In a way I’ve really shifted toward a corporations > small business stance. It’s not that either stance makes sense from a socialist point of view, but corporations are quite a bit easier to regulate and nationalize, “after the revolution” or whatever
in a particular sense, large corporations do centralize production for us. Imagine if the early USSR had something like Wal-Mart’s infrastructure
Hmm it’s almost like there’s a natural consolidation of capital as larger firms become more efficient via monopolization, while smaller businesses are squeezed out.
What? But I was told wage work is just a transitory stage in life toward my independence as a property owner. What do you mean thats utopian?!
mfw someone’s utopia is being a landlord
