Nah that's so 2015, these days its twelve classes at 999.99 each, but if they order right now they'll cut that price in half to 649.99. and if you make a support claim about it they'll say you've passed the first test and gain access to the VIP class, only 249.99 for big brain boys. And there's only ten of them.

When you finally free yourself of capitalist ideology only to land on 1800s american mutualist type sole proprietorship ideology without realizing they tried that shit already

As is so often the case with these things, it only works if there’s infinite resources, mostly land in this case. As long as people can keep moving into the “unoccupied” territory one valley over, then yeah everyone can access sole proprietorship. Once scarcity hits, though, primitive accumulation kicks in and consolidation happens.
The only way around that is a robust state program to ensure equitable distribution and that’s verboten for people pushing this ideology.

There's also just like capitalism inherently favoring larger organizations of production, even with "you can just go out and steal some land" as a release valve you're still going to see bigger players forming monopolies and inevitably buying out or outcompeting the little bean sole proprietors

Yeah lol and it still probably wouldn't work at all

Yeah that is a common misconception about how western expansion happened in the US. It gets depicted as a massive cell cluster of small family farms blooming forth, but in reality it was rich east coast land speculators buying up all the choice parcels and the small family farms ended up with the scraps.

It’d be massively inefficient. At that level of state involvement it’d be more straightforward to just socialize the economy and only keep around the handful of sole proprietorships that serve some sort of useful niche.

The equity thing isn't about buying shares in the company you are working for? It's not the greatest idea anyways

It's not the answer by any means, but within this system, I would personally fully recommend self employment to anyone who feels they could do it. Self employed in a B2B trade was the best part of my career, and I'm hoping to soon to get back to it.
Full autonomy, got a modicum of respect, I got to tell assholes to fuck off, wrote off so many expenses for tax, I learned a lot.
Obviously YMMV greatly, but in my experience it gets a lot of unwarranted flak as an option. And admittedly not quite what people tend to mean when they say 'Entrepeneur'.

it really depends where one is in life. For me i find it's a prison, I owe shitload of taxes, i have no right to unemployment if something goes south. Here we fought to have good employing conditions and the reason they want everybody to become self employed is to go around it

Idk, I'm doing pretty decently working minimum wage, but that's because of a mix of macroeconomic conditions, thrift, and sharing.
