Any laborer who thinks that companies are their friend is (clearly) not a socialist.

But any laborer who thinks that companies are their friend is also, quite clearly, not an ideological capitalist.

The negotiating power of labor with capital is core to the functioning of capitalism and the free market. Laborers who think the elites are their friends, and not just cold cogs of an economic machine that must be dealt with only on terms and with power balances that benefit the laborer, are not capitalists. They're feudalists who are happy to kneel in exchange for nothing but scraps from the lord's table.

Left or right, companies are only your friend if you're willing to be a slave.
