Do you not understand how jobs and providing services for money work?

I most certainly advocate for a better society where work is more democratic than it currently is (in general).

I'm well aware of how jobs work, just that I don't think it's a efficient or fair way to structure society (in general). It's pretty hard to argue that the amount of money people have is purely, or even mostly, correlated with merit or how hard someone works.

There’s nothing wrong with profiting off your employees labour though.

Agree to disagree. I'm not having a go at any small business owners in particular, since many don't profit that much more than their employees anyway - just in general it's not desirable and we ought to move away from capitalism.

Oh I see you are a fan of communism lol. Never mind.

Technically not communism specifically ,because I think money is a useful accounting tool, which allows people to choose what they value, and don't think we need to get rid of it - but much of a much. Yes I am a socialist and not shy about it.
