Thinking we can do anything against corporations that own the world is just silly
corporations dont exist without consumers
Artists like, musicians/actors/comedians/etc offer the public entertainment. I imagine that has something to do with it.
Lifting the world’s spirit is a hard thing to do. I believe entertainers should be rewarded for their craft.

The ones at the top certainly do. They literally print our money

money has no use without people to move it around and create value for it

Ok, but what happens if we stop using their money? They still own everything and have the military on their side. I understand your arguments, but it just requires too many people to be awake to these issues for it to be possible. The majority of Americans still believe in the two party system, which is proof enough for me that most people are clueless beyond help
Entertainers obtain their wealth through their own labor. Businesspeople obtain their wealth through the exploitation of other people's labor.

don’t know if people were under a rock during the pandemic but it showed they need workers more than we need them
So you hate all celebrity kids?
Nepotism of any kind is corny but celebrity kids like Jaden Smith, O'Shea Jr, at least have something unique to offer the world with their craft and dont need to exploit the working class in order to gain riches

This is really it

1. i'm speaking from the view of a marxist-leninist, but just because you are opposed to the system you live within does not mean you should sacrifice your life for the sake of proving an ideological point. There obviously things you must forgo because of how disgusting they are in the scheme of capitalism, but by no means does it mean you should go throw your cash and iPhone in the trash, especially when they're useful tools for organization
2. Owning and legality doesn't mean s*** when you can steal, decieve, or cheat your way for the sake of fighting a corporation. Who cares if Walmart owns the food in their store? Steal it! Go donate it! Morality already went out the door when they shoved small businesses out of towns in exchange for massive corporate establishments that work their employees like slaves
3. There's never too many people. The Chinese Communist Party only numbered 7,000 after the Long March. Anything is possible in the face of authority and in the name of freedom. The military legally can't intervene either. And even then, I don't expect a bunch of 18 year olds to want to start killing their countrymen the same way they do people in the third world. Sure maybe some, but not all
Entertainers are literally exploited workers, why would people equate them with CEOs? And them being rich doesn’t change that context either

literally
how do you expect a society to work without laborers? The means of production are the absolute base of how our social structures are formed and maintained.
anyways, OP is a pro-Biden shill who is against anything that isnt unbridled capitalism despite being a geriatric who owns no capital

Agreed
Nothing worse than a goofy b****ing about Amazon and then sucking his favorite entertainers gooch.
Corny, people are ready to donate their whole salary for a dude who wears Rolexes

Business has nothing to do with money, it’s about creating value. Money could cease to exist, there would still be businesses and another form of payment

Your statement and mine are not mutually exclusive
🤝
I will say that the concept of businesses putting value creation before service provision (artificial demand vs meeting demand) is precisely what leads to the terrible economic mechanisms and conditions we see today
the most a musician makes off their music alone is 10-15 million. Sports players make 100-200 million through corporate contracts and corporate sponsorships
This is fish and chips compared to the multi-hundred-billion dollar worth people who contribute absolutely none of the labor that creates that value.
These people control markets that directly affect our daily lives (usually for the worse) and contribute to the ever-growing problem of climate change
What difference would it be in Tesla if Elon was CEO vs. a council of workers representing the union of all Tesla employees? What material role does he even bring to the company outside of being a media figurehead and their manbaby spokesperson?
What is the unions vision for the company?
