Yeah, this particular business will not be either of those. People asked and they clarified that it will basically just be a run of the mill business that doesn’t underpay its employees as much as it could. And to my astonishment and dismay, the reception was still generally positive. I even saw one “congrats, comrade.” Uggh, fuck off.
Yeah but they're out there in Reddit saying contradictory things, they're saying it's cool and good to be successful in the capitalist sense of starting a business and owning labor, but also condemning the bourgeoisie. They would be in the clear if they weren't painting it as a good thing that they own a business.
Maybe they don't, I read the comment negatively because of how it's presented here. I just have a heavy inclination to believe that this person does not include themselves in the bourgeoisie if they are so willing to go ahead and condemn it.
"fuck the bourgeoisie" i say as i start my own business
POV: you are this tool
starting a business isnt inherently exploitative. they could be sole proprietorships or coops
the "i own property" bit is evidence that this is probably not gonna be either of those lol
yeah 'property' as a word is sus, why not just say business or a house
Well they could be using the word in a left-wing sort of way, referring to having a house or something.
