say it with me everyone,
“your status as a ‘capitalist’ relates directly to your access to the means of production. If you are a worker, even white collar, you are not a capitalist”
“but paper pushers aren’t REAL hardworking MEN!”
Yet as finance and business became more complex, the link from wealth to ownership of the means of production to managerial authority eroded.
Lol. Lmao even
“Marx was wrong because the modern worker has seven bosses on three different levels of the corporate hierarchy.”
Libs will then say in the same breath: "corpos have more efficient bureacracy than the state
"
No object permanence with these people, if something is obscured then it must have dissolved
We have refined finance to such a point that commodities now just materialise out of the ether through some kind of capitalist magic.
This is what capitalist economists actually believe.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
Even if you have a we are all freelancers now mindset, can you honestly say that I own the means to production for what I do on my computer when a third party owns a lot of the data physically on the device and I need to pay a whole bunch of rentiers for the stuff I need for my job?
Vibes-based distributism
did you even lrn2code if you can’t write your own linux distro

Ok, cool. When do I get my capital?
I’m not reading that but I can already guess the “capital” is your laptop and your phone because this was written by a trustfund baby who thinks everyone is a “digital nomad”.
Everyone can create resell websites online!

i don’t know where this liberal bullshit came from
It’s a common conservative talking point. That’s where it comes from
The fuck I am.
not gonna work with decreasing home ownership rates
wdym, consumers have just expressed a strong preference for renting at rates comically higher than mortgages
“The home you own” I’m gonna stop ya right there bud
The home you own?
Heh, looks like I’m a billionaire capitalist now. Bye bye you stinky proles, I’m off to Mars with my new friend Mr. Musk.
Called it. I’ve been around some pork circles and this is what they’re coalescing around as their next pitch.
EVERYONE should be their own individual small business owner, being a businessman is the new clergy so no one will have anything to complain about when everyone’s a pork. In a sense, they do want communism but only on their own terms. If the capitalist class is the only class, then it’s a classless society.

That’s always been their pitch, I’m pretty sure it’s even discussed in the manifesto when Marx talks about petty bourgeois socialism.
Holy shit, I really need to start reading more theory.
It’s not new, this is what the American project has always been about - everyone a yeoman farmer

Dang, guess I owned the means of production all along without noticing
The real means of production were the friends we made along the way.
Maybe life would be more affordable if we nationalized some things.
You want to improve yet your are forced to participate to functionaly live. How very hypocrite of you.
