The petit bourgeoisie are the worst because they’re not as powerful as the major corpos, but for that reason alone they’re more indignant, more annoying, and more fascistic.
And ‘support local business’ libs have given them this complex that they’re a social good and any hardship they face as a business owners real or imagined is a form of martyrdom for the greater social good. The poor small business owner can’t afford the new minimum wage proposal and big business will eat up all the smol babies etc. At least big business owners played the game and won, they were out competed in the capitalist market they paricipate in and endorse and want our sympathy for being the smallest predator in the pond and that we ought to believe it’s socially constructive to throw ourselves into their mouth because their ego says they should be a shark? Fuck that, let em be the chum to the sharks that already are out there for all I care. The person who owned the hole in the wall vegan restaurant I previously worked at still took time off from.the business she ran over Christmas to be a part time postal worker and deliver mail, cutting out what is a sweet yearly possible entry to an amazing long term union gig as a postal worker if you don’t wash out after Christmas and keep up the hours. She also bought rental properties that her husband renovated and then she resold. They’re all absolute scum on equal level, they’re the ones with any stake in this imaginary competition where they were doomed from the start but lacked the sanity to realize it and unless they offer workers a better deal than the big guy, they can take a fucking hike. They decided to be capitalists, apparently taking the risk is why they deserve to exploit workers so, here’s your risk assholes, when you sit down at the table you may go bust.
This is why we got to make a Faustian bargain with the billionaires that we will let them have New Zealand if they help us crush the middle class. One mega yacht is better than a thousand little boats.
What? No. Have you read Faust? It doesn’t work out. That’s an essential part of your metaphor, you don’t deal with the devil cause you’ll get fucking screwed. A thousand little boats is way better than the aircraft carriers and battleships our billionaires essentially have at their admittedly less than immediate disposal but I doubt I need to explain the military industrial complex. If we’re sticking with a boat metaphor, yeah, sometimes it’d a yacht but that yacht is being protected by an advanced military force as well. I’ve gone off hard against small business owners enough in this thread I don’t feel the need to here, but comparing them is a false exercise as a communist
They’re the same but on different stratus of power, there is no fundamental difference morally between small or big businesses, they’re both our enemy and the only difference to consider is in strategy to destroy them. Otherwise it’s a distinction with no difference.

In Goethe’s version Faust still goes to heaven in the end
don’t they already own it?
Supporting the great satan to destroy the many smaller satans.
