I am a staunch anti capitalist. Capitalism allows the existence of corporations. Corporations have shareholders. Sharing = communism. I hate communism. Therefore, I hate capitalism.

I'm running behind the President in 2026. Do I have your vote?

an interesting parallel is that all corporations run as planned economies.

proving that planned economies work.

Corporations are also centrally planned economies where you’re expected to sacrifice yourself for the good of the whole.

It's almost as if all authoritarian hierarchies are fundamentally the same. 🤔

Huh, OP kind of has a point

I downloaded this image last october and have been waiting for the right moment to use it since then.

Well, they're certainly not democratic.

That's not true at all. If every worker was a shareholder, then I might agree with you. But shareholders are the rich, who have capital they can invest and gain from. Corporations are set up to only benefit the rich. The average worker gains nothing but their measly wage/salary regardless of how well the company does or how hard they work.

Corporations are not for the benefit of all. They are for the benefit of the rich upper class and derive their wealth from the work of the working class.

I won't pretend to know anything about economic systems so I really don't have a dog in this fight. however my work is employee owned (you can only buy shares if you're an employee), what does that mean for this comment?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

It's better, but still not great. You're still limited by having enough money to be able to buy shares. The people with more disposable income have a greater opportunity to benefit, while those with less may not be able to afford it at all.

Even the lowliest employee with the lowest pay should still have an opportunity to benefit from their labour.

This is a common setup companies use as a financial incentive. However, the vast majority of companies maintain a board or president with a controlling majority. Employees may get some returns on their shares but they do not have control over the company.
