    You don’t receive shares for free. You receive shares in return for your labour. You don’t become an equal member of a partnership as soon as you join.

        You’re struggling so hard in the comments, just to be wrong.

        Why are you so invested in capitalism? Do you own lots of capital or something?

          I don’t own much capital, but I live in a post communist country and I sure as hell don’t want to experience the shit our country already went through once.

              Yeah, blame the Russians. As if the Russian revolutionaries were not fighting for the same ideals you believe in. Just by not realizing that eliminating capitalists concentrated all the power in the government and handed power to Stalin on a silver platter.

              Once you come up with an economic model that both works economically and does not hand power to elected officials or some other such group, you have my support. Until then, I will keep the safe assumption that socialists have zero idea what they are talking about and would lead us to doom if we gave them the chance.
