Don't make me tap the sign.
A sole proprietor with no employees, or who hires others for their expertise, and they have the realistic ability to refuse a bad deal, and who reap a fair share of the profits of the endeavor is not the evils of capitalism.
A person who rents out rooms in the house they own is not a landlord in any meaningful sense.
The evils of capitalism come from control of a marketplace: unfair terms of employment that can't be refused and give others the value we create, the monopolization of real property and extracting wealth from others via rents, and the monopolization of marketplaces so you have no option to choose a competitor meaningfully.
But to aim our hate at the working class who get a little ahead in this fucked up system rather than the systemic, manipulative and dominating powers that be is the eating our own we've been warned of.
