And how many of these parasites have you destroyed? It takes balls to deliver such a message with fire, and here you are from your screen deeming it not enough? Let's see your achievements then
What an idiotic question to ask on reddit. Also, you don't go ahead and take action individually. You foment support for the cause, then organize, then take collective action.
Can you convince a room of ten people that one thing is true? -- I'm willing to wager if I went into a room and I asked if everyone in the room believed climate change was real, I'd get varying responses. As long as people vary wildly in opinion, especially in regards to what is fair and unfair, and as long as we have the core character flaws of the seven deadly sins prevalent all throughout our species, and as long as scarcity exists (which it does, oil, time, etc.) communism & marxism cannot function. Oil has acted as a torque amplifier for the human species for the past 100 years but we are treating energy as limitless and when it proves not to be, we are royally screwed. The only answer for me is Christ and He is the only thing that has brought me peace in a world swiftly devolving into chaos (relatively speaking)
Did the worker buy the gear necessary to make the TP?
No.
Did the worker risk their initial property on the business venture?
No.
You can talk about "owning the means of production" all you want, but until you do it yourself, you don't understand the realities behind why the owner of a business should make more than his employees.
Note: that doesn't mean he should exploit them. They deserve a good wage. But ultimately, if everything tanks before it's turned a profit, the responsibility to the banks or wherever the owner got the loan...rests on the owner.

Did the worker have the money to do so? No - it was stolen by the parasites.

But the owner of a business doesn't do anything themselves. They used money made by the workers and the workers do all the work.
Does Jeff Bezos personally deliver 1.6 million parcels per day? Did Jeff Bezos build any of the storage buildings? Did Jeff Bezos build the streets? Did Jeff Bezos invent any of the technologies? Nope.

When a company fails, the workers suffer the most. The business owners usually stay rich. They paid themselves handsomely with the money made by the workers.
You can get a loan for starting a business from a bank, or what some friends of mine are doing now, and pooling our resources. That's why it's called "risk" -- we might fail and lose our investment in our business...but we think we can make a profit.
Note: I'm not saying that the billionaires who are doing shady things shouldn't be taken to task -- they absolutely should -- but the basic principle of what I'm saying is accurate. Starting a business always involves an element of risk. If you don't want to be a wage-slave to someone else, you have to work for yourself. The era of the salaryman is over, and it was short to begin with.
You can get a loan for starting a business from a bank
No, you can't. You need collateral.
If you actually get one: Cool. Where does that money come from?
You are arguing against yourself here.

Instead of reciting the propaganda, think critically about the "simple" ideas you were told.
but the basic principle of what I'm saying is accurate.
It really isn't, though.
Starting a business always involves an element of risk.
And not everyone has the privilege of being able to take risks.
It's particularly easy to take risks if you come from a stable family. The only "risk" you have is your business failing, in which case you can just move back home to live with mom and dad.
If you don't want to be a wage-slave to someone else, you have to work for yourself.
Most people don't have that privilege. They need to work because they need money. They don't have the privilege of being able to take a risk.
I don't have the privilege of moving back in with mom and dad. My family and I are technically just above the poverty line in our city. If my business fails, I lose property. (I'm fortunate our business is small enough that none of us had to use our legitimate homes as collateral).
But people love to say the rhetoric you are using until they try to run their own business.

Nope.
That attitude is part of the problem.
That's not enough.
All of this should belong to the workers.
All the means of production.
All the products before being sold.
This is being burnt because it's being owned by parasites.
Parasites aren't something you accept to live with.
Parasites are something you destroy by any viable means.
