I’m with y’all on this, but demonizing a CEO misses a lot of context. While I agree that billionaires are selfish narcissistic people that couldn’t care less about their employees, this CEO isn’t a dictator operating in a socio-political vacuum. He needs to do what he is doing, or he gets replaced by another selfish narcissistic jerk that will abuse the employees.
The real issue is our system that creates and encourages these people to maintain and exacerbate these inequalities. We need more worker solidarity, more unions, and more organization among the lower classes to use our power to demand what we want. Otherwise, they will pull the strings that control the system to get what they want.
Additionally, I think rather than just demonizing the CEO, a person that could be easily replaced, we should praise the workers as well. It’s a loving approach that feels better than hate, it’s founded in collective principles, and it also celebrates their collective efforts which could encourage other workers to do the same.
One thing to consider is that the CEO and other people in his position are the people who have been working over the last half century or so to create the system that allows him to do this. It’s right to blame the system, but it’s easy to forget the system is made and run by actual people. To start to dismantle the system it will involve taking away the power of people like this, which could be seen as demonizing them.
