So then forcibly nationalize their companies if they won’t share the equity in their companies with the workers who built it. Fuck your stupid argument that defends oligarchs
This place makes me feel like I’m surrounded by angry teenagers. I merely explained that their wealth isn’t liquid, and that is a cold stone fact. I also explained that the money isn’t the issue in and of itself. The issue is that they can purchase influence enough to run the country.
Of course what you said is accurate. But you’re missing the point. The point is that there is a systemic issue wherein a business owner can capture equity and keep it from their workers.
Neolibs hate this because they’re like b-b-but what if I start a small business?? Or what if I finally get that promotion into the c suite?? I need to be able to extract wealth from the peons!!
In a just society there would be Amazon but jeff bezos would be far less wealthy because the average Amazon worker would have a significant amount of shares in the company, since without them the company wouldn’t exist. But instead will live in a society that serves oligarchs and allows the overwhelming majority of those workers to be paid essentially nothing while a small portion of people at the top of the hierarchy not only get reimbursed in exponentially more money, but equity shares as well.
When you point out they can buy influence without addressing the systemic issues it’s like you’re saying “oh hey it’s not like they actually have the money. They just have this influence.” But you don’t connect a to b and it’s like are you fucking dumb? The have that influence because we give it to them. Thus, bootlicker
