"Boss makes a dollar

I make a dime

That was a poem

From a simpler time

Boss makes a hundred

I don’t make jack

That’s why I riot

To seize the means back"

    Do you own the servers your company use? The software you write? Etc.

      We rent servers in the cloud because it’s cheaper than owning them. I did the same for some projects when I was freelancing.

      The software I write… I don’t own it, same as an electrician doesn’t own the cables he installs in your house. It’s the product I’m getting paid to create, why would I own it?

      This whole “we should own the means of production” screams of 19th century farmers and factory workers. It’s 2025, plenty of people already own their means of production, from IT bros and lawyers to farmers, electricians and cleaning personnel. And communism didn’t have to do anything with it.
