Are they saying that we are exploiting the owners of businesses by working for them? This broke my brain

Yeah, the capitalist has to front all his capital to let me work! Lucky me, by owning no capital I can't be forced to front it.

There's a kernel of a correct observation in there: business owners are often petit borgeios being exploited by landlords. They've just deluded themselves into thinking the employer acts as shield that absorbs that exploitation, when they just pass it downwards.

At the terms they set, and as they reap the rewards.
