There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Serious question, where are we supposed to buy things we need? Big business is bad, small business is bad, what’s left?
That isn’t what supporting small business means in this context. The support of small business is like when your politicians say things that they are the backbone of the country and they need tax breaks, more lenient regulation or subsidy. In the US they often subsidize small business owners like during COVID with PPP while letting their population suffer with no (or a one time) subsidy, no subsidized health care, no housing subsidy.
It is realizing that business owners and entrepreneurs are not your friends, they are a class of people that exist to exploit your labor and you need to organize to over throw the economic system that benefits them over you. Communists are asking you to support your needs and the needs of people like you over the needs of people who exploit you.
Is your username your full gov’t name? 😭😭😭
I will be waging war for the Walmart Worker’s Republic against the Kulaks
Controversal opinion: if you hate small business owners you never once showed any enterpreneurship spirit
Engineering spirit >>>> enterpreneurship spirit. I prefer to put all my energy into solving problems for the masses as the end goal, not maximize profit for the few as the end goal with solving problems almost as a side effect. Nothing suppresses engineering spirit more than enterpreneurship spirit. The amount of times complete, sustainable solutions get shot down by enterpreneurs in favour of partial, temporary solutions designed to manufacture dependency on the business is disgusting.
Not even gonna read your shit story about you.
What I do >> than you
Go away w ur selfish righteous pettiness.

Isn’t not reading a response because you think your view is de-facto correct the definition of petty?
Read the beginning supposition and realized the commenter was wearing quite the asshat.
Unsurprisingly, I’m a communist. Collectivized production and distribution along a common, scientific plan is the way to go.
But entrepreneurship!!!1111
“entrepreneurship spirit”- translation: desire to fuck over anyone and everyone for money.
No way in hell you never ever wanted to sell anything to anyone ever.
Let’s say, sell your own art in the internet, or perhaps sell games to earn some cash.
This is what i’m talking about, this is also creating your own business, a digital one but a business like all others.
I legit have never wanted to sell anything. I don’t even like selling my time, but I gotta cause I don’t feel like living in the woods.
Yea, you don’t want to sell your time to the oppressive woodlands. Forcing you to gather food and build shelter or die. That’s just like capitalism.
Oh, ok that makes sense. Can relate to not liking selling my time either
I’d honestly rather not sell that sort of thing. The only reason I would is so I could spend my working hours making that and still be able to afford to eat. If that wasn’t an issue, I’d rather give my work away for free.
Selling something =/= being an entrepreneur
At the least flexible perspective, not really. But wanting to live off something you sell absolutely is.
Not even then. Being able to live is not the target of entrepreneurs no matter what they gaslight you into thinking.
you never once showed any enterpreneurship spirit
Yeah because I’m not a fucking business ghoul 🏴🚩
