“You can't pay people anything close to the economic benefit they provide to a company. ” Why not? How is anything less not considered theft? “The first recession/accident will bankrupt the company.” How?

In short, if their is no direct financial benefit to me as a business owner, why would I employ anyone? If I wanted to work in the charity sector, why am I running a small business? Also, running a business is risky. How many great businesses died because of the financial crisis?

You shouldn’t. The operation of a business should not be the responsibility of some owner. And charities are not businesses. (At least in theory) Speaking of which, you know what systems caused the financial crisis, right?

It seems you are staying that workers should have the right to have their labour valued but the same doesn't apply to those who create their own business? Isn't their a contradiction here?

No, because creating a business is contingent far more on already having capital than on performing labor. Business owners should be rewarded for their labor, but not for their preexisting ownership.

So why open a business if you get no benefits from it? Would you work an 80 hour week as a business owner and get less for that Labour than your employees? This is was starvation is the most common outcome if communist societies.

If you performed work, you WOULD get benefits. Businesses don’t need to be “owned.” If you worked 80 hours a week (which you should never do btw), you would make much more than employees who don’t. And no famine has ever resulted from entrepreneurial apathy.

So you admit it's entrepreneurial? Why is famine in so common in countries without propery rights and rule of law and unknown in countries where such they exist? Zimbabwe went from a food exporter to famine as the white farmers were killed or fled as there farms were seized.

(1/2) I admit starting a business is “entrepreneurial,” yes, that’s the definition. No famine has ever been the result of too few people starting small businesses.

(2/3) Famine’s common all over the planet. It normally is the result of drought or pestilence. Twice in history, it also resulted from horrible policies implemented in failed collectivization attempts— both failures were due in part to ecology.

(3/3) Zimbabwe’s a lot simpler. They chased off all the old farmers without having any plan whatsoever for finding new farmers. The old farmers also took their capital with them (or were cut off), making organization much more difficult in the immediate term.
