    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.

      Unsurprisingly, I’m a communist. Collectivized production and distribution along a common, scientific plan is the way to go.

        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.

          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.

            At the least flexible perspective, not really. But wanting to live off something you sell absolutely is.
