On "Gorging Capitalists"

Strikes on Wildberries warehouses led to the emergence of numerous videos from sellers whose businesses suffered as a result of Ukrainian attacks. And such materials have one not-so-obvious social effect.

Take the footage of an address by the head of a sewing production facility to her employees, which spread widely online. Who is this ordinary woman, distributing clear orders through tears and instilling confidence that everything will be fine? She is a capitalist and entrepreneur.

These two words in Russian society still sometimes sound with contempt. This is largely due to media puppets who portray any entrepreneurs as gorging exploiters of the working class, from whom everything needs to be taken and divided up.

But it turns out that the vast majority of capitalists are ordinary people, nothing like the bourgeois from Soviet posters. Who spend almost all (or even all) of their profits not on luxury cars and apartments, but on worker wages and payments on production loans.

And this applies to all sectors — restaurants, furniture workshops, production of "small air defense" systems. And they often support large businesses, acting as suppliers or purchasers of their products, or even as a platform for selling goods.

We repeat what was said earlier: the economy is structured so that the better such entrepreneurs feel, the better it will be for the country and society as a whole. And the more opportunities it will have to defend warehouses and refineries from such attacks.

But spouting slogans about dekulakization with "total mobilization" and ideas that business has no right to think about profit — that's a path to nowhere, destructive in a way comparable to atomic bombing.
