Interestingly, one of the main drivers against communism was opposition to the idea that everybody has to work for "big government." Back during the Cold War lots of people wanted to "be their own boss" and run their own business; it was called "freedom"!
Sadly, since the collapse of the USSR it has only gotten harder to "be your own boss" and succeed at small business as corporations have swallowed up more and more control of everything that has any profit potential. What happened to all the people--especially Republicans--who used to insist on "being their own boss"? I haven't heard from them for a long time. Did they all buy stocks in Amazon and forget about all that "freedom"?
