this is oversimplified and doesn’t include taxes on those profits among other things.
the example is disingenuous and was made to manufacture an emotional response.
taxation without representation is worse than loss of potential individual profits and generally leads to fascist ideologies circumventing socioeconomic protections put in place by proletariat supporting leadership.
at the core, the problem isn’t your lack of profits, rather the erosion of democracy and rise of fascism.
This is actually the least emotional way to put it. If you want compilcated maybe Lemmy is the wrong place to look for it? And most of all profit is profit, you don’t have individual and non-individual. What is important is that we don’t get how much is justified to be booked on the owners’ accounts. Speaking of representaion. Profit is after wages, after social, and often not taxed. The only way to speak of profit going to labour is whe the own the means of production. Fascism doesn’t get in the way of profits, hence the capitalist support for it.
