    You didn't read what he wrote did you? Or what I have written in this thread. I don't care if it's communist rhetoric or not. What's right is right.

    Ofc i did idiot
    He's using the events of a protest against police brutality to make you think its okay to burn down small businesses since their a business something communist believe shouldn't exist

    Ive looked into this since @ARCADE_GOON encouraged me too and I don’t know how much validity those that run on large scale have for the arguments here

    They often still raise capital from shareholders and are therefore beholden to the shareholders theory

    yeah when it gets large i know it can get sketchy, I know that's one of the major criticisms of migros for example
    probably has to do with the fact it has to exist within the capitalist system

    but i'm gonna be real with you, i don't have the energy rn to have a proper discussion on this lmao

    no one said all business and trade is bad lol

    simply that labor relations under capitalist production is exploitative whether it be big corporations or small businesses.

    He's spewing communist rhetoric under the guise of supporting the Floyd protest f*** out of here
    Typical communist tactic of taking an issue and making it theirs to support their ideology

    goddamn you are dumb. no one said the george floyd protests were communist in nature lmao

    worker co-ops
    and before you ask they can operate large scale too

    around since the 80s, does approx $80 millions in sales https://equalexchange.coop/

    around since the 50s, 80,000 worker-owners and like $16 billion yearly revenue https://www.mondragon-corporation.com/en/about-us/

    i think co-ops are an interesting concept and definitely worth exploring. but i am skeptical of how they work with bigger scales. their inability to sell equity to outside investors makes them a non-palatable option for those in capital intensive industries; which is why we'll probably never see an automobile manufacturer be a co-op. hell, correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't mondragon outsource some of their labor to workers not in the co-op to get where they're at?

    they probably did, was just putting them out there as an example

    there's ppl on this site who know more on this than me, you're better off asking them sry

    lmfao i’ve thought about this before, but i view caping for small businesses the same as I do tipping. by doing so you’re engaging in some systemic f***ery that definitely sucks in some ways, but you’re also just helping your fellow human get by out here which is never a bad thing

    not really the same thing

    when you tip, yes, it is a f***ed up system, but it does, or at least should go right into the exploited workers pockets. shopping at small businesses doesn't really do anything to help the workers there directly
