Second said:I'm not out here advocating for anything illegal or just plain destructive. What exactly are you implying? Starting a side hustle? Or owning the means of production (you know, that whole capitalist attribute according to Marx)?

Look, obviously we're talking about controlling strategic assets here. It’s all about consolidating power, plain and simple. And yeah, people hate that—they absolutely loathe it. But honestly? That’s their problem, not mine. At this stage, it's already too late for them to do anything about it.
Think back to when Andrew Carnegie became the king of steel; I bet J. P. Morgan felt like absolute garbage every single day watching him rise. But hey, the deal eventually went through in the 1920s for $660 million, which was massive considering back then, $20 million was enough money to retire on forever. Why am I even bringing this up? Because there's a lesson in there somewhere if you've got the brains to find it. I'll leave you to chew on that while you're sitting on the toilet later. #2. Maybe try reading a couple of books once in a while.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a capitalist and an industrialist through and through. Communism never really sat right with me, and I spent half my life clashing with that old-school, rigid American establishment mindset from the time I was just a kid. We were just built differently, them and I.
But don't get it twisted—I'm not some heartless corporate shark. Actually, I truly believe a happy worker is a productive one. That's why those who work for me, or will be working for me down the road, get pretty much everything you could ever dream of. Honestly, it might even make them feel a little loyal to the cause.
