Burgess’s message: Freedom Force will protect businesses and those who toil at them.

As the erstwhile Oakland Raider sees it, owning a business is a cornerstone of liberty in the United States:

“Business ownership is the foundation of our freedom. It’s where our middle class comes from.” //

“So…if you wonder why they’re shutting down things right now – because no matter who you are, Democrat, independent, or Republicans, the Left hates business owners because it empowers the middle class.” //

It’s certainly not a stretch to say there’s overt opposition to business ownership. Despite dreamy assertions among the woke, socialism is not a system where you as a low-wage worker suddenly become one of many CEOs. It is, rather, a system in which business ownership is banned — all products and means of production are instead forcibly taken by the biggest business of all: Government.

In other words, if you own a business and say you’re a socialist, either:

A. You want the government to take away what you’ve built

OR

B. You don’t know the definition of socialism
