Am I a bad leftist just bc I like big business

Enterprise isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lots of choices are available to the consumer. But when referring to employment options, remember large companies have a goal to be as profitable as possible. Paying employees is a liability. They will eliminate your job tomorrow and replace you with software once they figure out a way to do it.

I work for a small independent company and it's the best job I've ever had.

I would argue that they are not easier to regulate

Why? Because they have the money to influence politics directly in their favor.

Also once they beat out their competitors they no longer have to offer quality on the level they use to.

If their ability to do all this could be nullified? Sure.

But i dont see that happening.

Also big businesses lead to concentrated wealth which is itself a huge issue.

If it's big soulless corporations you support such as Apple and Google, your Walmarts, etc, then yeah I'd say so. I have taken political compass tests and some have said I am a centrist and others said I'm left libertarian. I don't like big corrupt corporations and that's a pretty lefty position.

Depends on what you consider big business. Personally I believe multinational corporations are like countries unto themselves.

They know no allegiance to any country, therefore should be abolished.

Workers of the world owe no allegiance to the bourgeoisie, whether petty or the upper class.

Eh we all gotta swim in the water. Small businesses are often tyrants that treat workers horribly. I'm of the "no ethical consumption under capitalism" mindset.

Except the anti- trust folks seldom regulate. Last important breakup was ATT decades ago.

Maybe yes.

😂

No, of course not.

I kinda disagree. Large corporations are harder to regulate due to their sheer size and influence. Also i say meh to their job creation vs. Small business. Yes they create more jobs but at the expense of many of them either being redundent and high paid, or just low pay fodder. It's worth mentioning small buisiness leaves more room for more buisinesses and competition allowing for the favorable outcome of more buisiness ownership. Add to the fact that small buisiness owners also tend to be part of the actual labor force of said buisiness. Another pro for them is they allow for more individual buisinesses in a market that makes them more tailored for each region and segment of the shared market.

The best case scenario in any economic model is having more business owners than employees. The more people who own a business the better.

Maaaan, multinationals are the worst offenders.
