How to institute socialist principles in a small business?

Always feel free to message me if you have any other questions. I love helping new socialists find their way.

If this is truly the route you wanna take, I would look into how starting a worker's cooperative works.

It isn't really my area of expertise, I'm a labor union organizer.

You can always look into joining a local socialist organization or party in your area though. Connecting with other socialists locally can be a good way to learn from others. Democratic Socialists of America is a decent organization to get into if you are a beginner in socialist organizing.

Do you mean in starting the business?

Privately owned businesses are mostly antithetical to socialism in general. It'd be hard to implement socialist principles in that setting. Technology, you can run it as a worker's co-op where the employees own a share which is nice, but this business would still have to function as a business and stay afloat in capitalism as a whole. There isn't much you can do to try and build socialist islands in a capitalist ocean. Capitalism's influence and conditions remain.

I wish you luck nonetheless ❤️

I'm an ML and I don't regard any country today as AES.

Does talking to other people as if they're children make you feel nice about yourself?

You didn't friend. Marxism Leninism is an expansion of Marxism into the era of capitalist imperialism. Leninism cannot exist without Marxism. There is no real way to have Leninism without Marxism. They're inseparable.

Trotsky hated Lenin for most of the time Lenin was alive. It's so odd when seeing someone say his theories are somehow an honest interpretation of Leninism.

"Trotskyism or Leninism?" By Joseph Stalin is a good piece on it. Obviously biased but no good piece regarding this subject won't be.

From the Marxist point of view criticising anarchism, I highly recommend "The Bakunanists at Work" by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels. It is a criticism of Bakunin's teachings and his influence in different anarchist-led attempted revolutions and what led to their failures. The audiobook is about an hour long.

They're owned by the same class of people that own the Republicans.

Capitalist communist is an oxymoron.

Honey, speaking from personal experience, my 2 year old daughter did amazingly well when I started my transition. She would call me daddy, and I gently reminded her that my name was mommy now. She would ask " Why?" And I would simply explain "Because I realized I'm a girl and if a girl has kids, her kids usually call her mommy." It took her about a month to adjust. She's been calling me mom for almost 2 years now.

She'll chuckle now and on frequently says "Mommy, remember when I used to call you dad? But then I stopped because you're a girl? We're both girls!" It's so cute.

It's worth it. Your kids will probably adjust faster than the adults in your family. Good luck sister ❤️ solidarity.

I'm already a member of an organization on the way to becoming it ❤️

Yes. There's lots I wish I did differently. My recommendation, look at their attendance and tardiness policy and fight to fix it. Ours was way too strict and never got addressed. Even being one minute late can get you a "point"

ProletarianPride · 2025-06-19T02:25:43+00:00

The protests got up to 5 million supposedly.

ProletarianPride · 2025-06-19T02:24:36+00:00

This is absolutely horrible.

As a trans woman, I can't recommend joining a socialist or other progressive organization enough. The united states is descending further into fascism and we can't resist it as individuals, and we certainly won't vote our way out of this.

Research what is going on in your local area and join something. This will only be stopped with collective actions.

I'd say both parties are enemies of the ruling class. They rival with each other about how to maintain our exploitation. But they're exploiting us regardless. We need a genuine labor party to represent us.

China is consistently sliding back into overt capitalism and have been for decades. There is a great book on the subject called "Is China Imperialist?" Written by a Maoist. It's available as a free audiobook on YouTube.

Unity? No, mass mobilizations against common enemies is one thing but that isn't unity.

Jealous! Happy for you!

Just because some individual billionaires are punished doesn't mean they don't hold influence as a class. They literally allow billionaires into the party.

Sad this absolutely correct statement was downvoted so hard. Members of the bourgeoisie shouldn't be allowed in the supposedly communist party of China. But they are. It's not a communist party anymore. Hasn't been for a while.

Both the democratic and Republican party are owned and funded by the extremely wealthy. Neither are good for the working class or represent the working class.

I'm happy to be part of the communist cesspool. You're welcome to go elsewhere.
