you're not the leading edge of anything

2017-07-01 11:34:56 UTC  

you're just shit

2017-07-01 11:35:03 UTC  

we're having a discourse right now

2017-07-01 11:35:09 UTC  

which I've been leading from the start

2017-07-01 11:35:11 UTC  

checkmate

2017-07-01 11:36:20 UTC  

Can't we all just get along?

2017-07-01 11:36:30 UTC  

And seize the means of production

2017-07-01 11:36:52 UTC  

explain why seizing the means of production is either necessary or effective

2017-07-01 11:37:27 UTC  

because otherwise capital brings more capital into itself, a runaway feedback effect that necessarily destroys society (including itself)

2017-07-01 11:38:03 UTC  

but are you saying you want unskilled laborers to take all the profits from a business that they put no investment into

2017-07-01 11:38:18 UTC  

an organization that was built from the ground up by its owner(s)

2017-07-01 11:38:44 UTC  

because if thats the case then entrepeurs wouldnt exist

2017-07-01 11:38:47 UTC  

businesses aren't especially built by their owners, that's the point

2017-07-01 11:38:52 UTC  

they're built by their employees

2017-07-01 11:38:57 UTC  

thats not true

2017-07-01 11:38:57 UTC  

notice that managers are also employees

2017-07-01 11:39:02 UTC  

owners literally don't do shit

2017-07-01 11:39:27 UTC  

I worked in a factory that was owned by a guy who started his business selling fruit out the back of his truck

2017-07-01 11:39:38 UTC  

and now he produces all the fruit bars and snacks in the country

2017-07-01 11:39:52 UTC  

he built that

2017-07-01 11:40:15 UTC  

another boss of mine ran a rental cabin business and he built every one of the cabins himself

2017-07-01 11:40:20 UTC  

and hes a millionaire now

2017-07-01 11:40:35 UTC  

so if ownership were to be assigned to someone else, would that be unfair

2017-07-01 11:40:43 UTC  

because then he wouldn't be compensated for all that work

2017-07-01 11:40:55 UTC  

if someone other than him were the owner, that would be unfair, huh?

2017-07-01 11:40:59 UTC  

thats what buyouts and mergers are, compensation

2017-07-01 11:41:08 UTC  

they should make the owner be whoever did the most work to make the company, huh

2017-07-01 11:41:21 UTC  

they dont seize their means of production, they pay them what their business is worth, which is usually int he tens of millions

2017-07-01 11:41:45 UTC  

so some unskilled labourer who walks in off the street should just get the company?

2017-07-01 11:42:14 UTC  

no whoever does the work to make the company

2017-07-01 11:42:36 UTC  

so the person who owns the company?

2017-07-01 11:42:38 UTC  

not who technically owns the resources needed

2017-07-01 11:42:44 UTC  

its like you're trying to fix something that isnt broken

2017-07-01 11:43:01 UTC  

i'm explaining to you in your own terms but you still don't understand

2017-07-01 11:43:10 UTC  

you think he deserves the company because he worked hard

2017-07-01 11:43:17 UTC  

what if someone else technically owned the food truck at first

2017-07-01 11:43:22 UTC  

no he owns it because it was his to begin with

2017-07-01 11:43:27 UTC  

then should all that hard work mean he just gets a minimal payment and no ownership

2017-07-01 11:43:29 UTC  

it's the same work

2017-07-01 11:43:39 UTC  

no because that would be stealing

2017-07-01 11:43:46 UTC  

which is what you're proposing
