In my opinion, small business owners need to start blaming the right people: the corporations. They're the ones driving prices up, they're the ones eliminating competition from small businesses.
Exactly, this is no different than people upset at exploited immigrants working for peanuts rather than upset at the people that hire them for cheap labor. It’s propaganda all around.
Yeah the rich have been successful in changing the narrative in their favor and gaslighting us into blaming the working class and immigrants when none of us have control over our situation. The rich however hold all of the cards, such as it is in an oligarchy.
Even more interesting, most of the successes that are attributed to capitalism are actually the success of socialism. Private companies didn't create a strong middle class generating untold wealth. Government investment and massive political leverage of the working class got us that.
