No, it’s still profit. It’s profit that’s reinvested into growing the business. Profit is revenue - operating costs. Scaling is not an operating cost, it’s an investment.
yeah, anything above a certain percent I can see as theft from working class, but profit is expected to some degree. that alone doesn’t paint a full picture at all.
Exactly. What really bugs me about lefty/antiwork sentiment lately is that it increasingly seems to be built upon and pushing fundamentally flawed black/white style concepts with unrealistic demands that don’t understand the nuances of the world we live in.
This is antithetical to progress, it alienates many supporters and breeds politically useless extremism.
“lately”? This is foundational to the entirety of left wing thought.
The left starts at abolition of capitalism and by extension corporate profit. If you disagree with that, you’re simply not left wing in any way, you would be better off in right wing or far right sites like reddit or Facebook. They’re their product of your beliefs, stick to them.
Profit shouldn’t exist, period. Get yourself a salary there Executive man and stop playing god. There is one singular reason to care about profit, and thats to get on the stock exchange to start living like an American Sultan. Profit should not exist, that money should go back to the workers and society, not into the coffer tombs of self proclaimed giants.
How can a business/company grow and develop if it doesnt make net profit?
By making a profit and not increasing it by underpaying employees.
Easy. By definition, if the money is going back into the business it isn’t profit. It’s overhead.

Then where does profit go?
Into the pockets of the owners/investors
The ones who made it possible at the beginning, and paid workers wages from their own money? Screw those guys!
What is it about being wealthy that makes you deserve a bigger share of the results of group labor?
If anything that’s a great reason for them to get the least out of the venture, they didn’t do the work
Well, the capital.
Instead of fucking off to a tropical island and drink daiquiris into the sunset you decide to invest, create jobs and risk your cash.
If you don’t like it, create your own company and work for yourself, plenty of people are doing exactly that. See how easy it is to be owner/investor.
Kill the bourgeoisie by taking their money through establishing co-ops. phase out the leech class. Then dine on their fuckin brains
