        See this is what I’m talking about. Poor reading comprehension all around. I’ve addressed this here in detail https://lemmy.ml/comment/9575251

        The boss you employs your dumb ass appropriates all the value that you produce, then pays you a small portion of that value in form of salary. That’s the system where you don’t get benefit of your labor.

        When you are an employee, which is the vast majority of population who do not own businesses, you are being exploited by an owner such as yourself who steals your labor.

        A business that actually benefits the workers is a worker owned cooperative where people doing the work get to keep the profits. Evidently this concept is really hard for you to wrap your head around.

          You still didnt answer the question. I had no employees, I just worked a lot and am smart so I was able to get people what they wanted. Who was harmed and how was this bad for me?

            That’s a straw man argument because I never said that being self employed harms anybody. In fact, that’s not different from a cooperative with just a single person working in the business. This is completely compatible with communism you get that right?

                Once again, you’re showing your reading comprehension problems. I love how you keep telling me how smart you are, but then show that you aren’t able to parse simple sentences.

                The bit you quoted was me mocking you saying that people don’t get the benefit of their labor under a mix or cooperative ownership and state enterprise. I feel compelled to reiterate the question from the quote here.

                  Okay then we are back to why would someone like me who is a hard worker be willing to work hard if I dont get the benefit of my labor?

                    Oh, so we’re back to your straw man because nobody ever suggested anything of the sort. Once again, since you’re a little slow, communism is a a mix of private cooperative ownership (which includes being self employed) and state owned industry. What part of that specifically are you objecting to again?

                    The mode of business communists object to is private enterprise where the capitalist owns the business and hires wage workers.
