The topic never even remotely veered towards the benefits of communism over capitalism.
If you want the reasoning behind my answer I can give that. I have a very strong and rigid code of ethics unbound by the social and economic structures I was born in to. I believe in the efficacy of civil disobedience and believe all people should engage in it when reasonable. I apply this not just to people but also whatever businesses they own. I believe we should not abide by unjust laws and should take the consequences for breaking them. Therefore X should not have abided by this unjust law and should have let itself be banned. I simply do not care how it would effect their profits or if it is a good business decision.
I never mentioned communism, I only described capitalism
And the exploitation of labor? Where did that come into it?
You asked what I would do if I owned and ran X. I said I would never exploit others for labor as a way of saying I would never own a business.
Ah ok so you didn’t answer my question, you wanted to prove some anti-capitalist point that had nothing to do with the conversation.
