I dont get it, why dont everyone start their own companies and rake 100% of the profit for oneself, then?
Pretending this is a good faith argument.
Because the market is already saturated, capitalism is not the freedom of business, it is the freedom for business.
No mom and pop can compete against walmart, they already have too much money, walmart is free to lower prices at locations around the mom and pop store until it runs out of business.
One example because like... If it's in good faith you just straight up lack the prerequisite knowledge to discuss economics.
Or rather the average person doesn't have the capitol to front the cost of making something expensive.
Because capitalists made it so that competing with them is extremely risky.
Money barrier/immediate life threat/limited market.
Economies to scale is a hell of a thing
Well 15% of bigger paycheck vs 100% of everything one accomplishes on own, I think economy of scale works in worker's benefit here
Some things that workers make are impossible without large groups and lots of Capitol. Basically any motor vehicle (planes, trains, trucks, cars) fit that.
Because they're mostly wrong about their premises and thus conclusions. It makes perfect sense that they keep being poor until they fix those.
