    What's fun is that socialist states tend to have more "small business" than capitalist ones because people have trades and hobbies that they do on the side when they aren't forced to work 80 hours a week to feed their families. It's the inevitability of capitalist monopoly and forced proletarianization of the tradespeople that kills "small business".

    I feel like they're taking about small fiefdom style small business though, like landlording and restauranteuring which are essentially slave exploitation and not creative/innovative personal business.

      Good lord, imagine being a franchise owner...

      Did you build the store?

      No, I lease it.

      Do you make the food?

      Nope, my staff does that.

      Did you come up with the recipes?

      Nah, but we have 36 types of wing sauce.
