all CEOs =/= average small business owner. Anyways I don't view them as that. They aren't bloodthirsty and cutthroat; they try to raise profits for themselves and they don't see the consequences of their actions. They aren't evil; just ignorant pricks.
Geeze, isn't that kind of standard MO for any business, why demonize the average employer especially on a local level, when he turns his wealth into jobs for his own communot. Shouldn't you be supporting any sort of employment for the "average" man, or is Marxism all hollow and banal rhetoric. This is only achievable through being profitable
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. They create profits for themselves and the consequences I refer to are a blatant disregard for their employees and their environment. The rhetoric of small business owners is so tiresome. Do you want to talk about the local diner owner or the small town factory whose excess chemicals are being absorbed by aquifers? Obviously, companies need to be successful in order to hire people but profits all too often don't come from smooth business moves but by actually fucking over the people that they so beneficently hired in the first place.
I shouldn't support "any sort of employment". Why should I be content with people working in sweatshops or making minimum wage for strenuous labor? It's not about getting everybody in America a job but providing them agency, making them autonomous individuals who have a stake in their lives. Rather than being dictated to or charitably hired, they should be their companies. The workers should have a stake in decisions in not just the workplace but in their lives and in their world. Hollow rhetoric, my ass. Just because this is so radical of a notion to some people shows how absurd our society is.
A sociologist at Cincinnati actually just did surveys where if you ask people if workers should make executive decisions for their companies, people resoundingly claim that yes they should. Maybe it isn't that radical.
