That isn't dangerous, just ignorant.

It's not ignorant, it's a different perspective on priorities that is outside your orthodoxy.

  • It is ignorant of history, law, politics and logic. Companies do not exist for that purpose. It isn't why they arose as a concept. It isn't why they are created today. It isn't why the law of companies exists today. It just has nothing to do with reality.

    If you said that businesses should exist for the benefit of their staff as much as for the benefit of their proprietors it might make some sense as an opinion. But you said that companies (a specific type of legal structure) do in fact exist for the benefit of their employees (a specific class of contractual relationship), which is simply false.

    If you want to make statements about how you think the world ought to be, then be my guest. If you want to lie about the state that the world is actually in, then you should be relieved when someone interprets your lie as mere ignorance.
