What use is there of shareholders, lenders, ceos, and finaciers?
Why are they absolute when it comes to shutting down production, manipulating the MOP, and calling the shots?
What is the empirical evidence of their genius or their ability that… If they were too disappear; the whole of society would be left confused, blind, and inert?
I know we all say the truth that they really are just useless parasites. But genuinely more and more; the capitalist class is looking just as vestigial as royalty and aristocrats.
What is the point of them? Cause there MUST BE at least some material benefit to them at least a little… Right?
The only thing I can think of is that boards of directors seeves as a working model of what a high ranking vanguard may look like with all the trappings of material conditions and proletarian class based ideogly being the motive of success instead of profits.
Why does anyone tolerate this arraingment?
Well if you are the dipshit Chud I used to work with you’d say they are the ones who take all the risk because these idiots actually believe that without them there would never be innovation or business growth and if the business fails they will loose all the investment. People are so heavily indoctrinated into this propaganda that they don’t even think of the hundreds of employees that, in the event of business failure, would be fired first. They think the shareholders and owners would just eat these losses and not, you know, fire the workforce and sell off all the assets they can in order to recover their losses.
I asked this idiot, two scenarios. One, all the shareholders and owners of the company we worked for (pharmaceuticals) disappeared would the business immediately be done for? And in typical idiot Chud fashion he said yes, as if it was a no brainer. I said "really? Would all our products stop being made? Would all of the companies that we produce for suddenly not need the products? Would our contracts disappear and all the people that need our medicines simply stop needing them? Would all the workers just stop coming to work? Would all the lines stop running? Of course he just stood there with a confused look as his whole ideology started to crack apart.
I then asked him what would happen if every single worker for the company disappeared. How would the shareholders and owners keep the business running. Who would do something as simple as screen and hire new employees? Who would train them? Who would do… Any labor? Who would fill orders or even speak to the clients? He sort of just mumbled off and said he needed to get back to work. Course it didn’t change anything he kept on just being a Chud with dumb as shit takes but it did feel good to bruise his ego pretty good.
Key takeaway is, people are just so indoctrinated into thinking this is the only way to do things. That shareholders and CEOs are necessary. They simply can’t think any other way.
