Nowhere did I say the company shouldn’t make a profit. It’s only natural that companies would have significant expenses around material, jobs, offices, and all that stuff, and that’s fine

You've been spot on with your replies to this bootlicker so far, but none of the things you mentioned here come under "profits", those are expenses.

It is the money that companies make after expenses that is the profit, and they are mostly able to make so much of it because they don't pay their employees fairly for their labour, nor for any other value they produce for the owners of company, who do very little to no work, and are absolutely not entitled to the fruits of other peoples' labour, no matter how tasty their boot might be.

They also maintain a system that means that employees don't have the free choice capitalists love to wave around - if they don't participate in this exploitative bullshit, they become homeless and starve, because our human rights, like our labour, have also been commodified so that a couple of thousand people can hoard all of the money and power that comes with it.
