Amazon has turned into one the most destructive forces in our modern world (along with Google and Apple and the social media companies). The real issue is that they are no longer chasing the profit motive, they have moved onto something different... rent seeking behavior.
I discuss a couple books: Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back by Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow and Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis. So, check out the video and let me know what you think.

I took an immediate 85% cut in sales moving away from Amazon and eBay to my own platform - initially on Shopify and later a custom site. But it’s better in the long run to build for yourself and own name. Controlling ads, shopping feeds, building own mailing lists, presenting products in the best light, being able to upsell and sell digital products, more options for fulfilment and connecting to APIs, etc.

[@turbobox7234]

I tell folks to stay away from Amazon whether you're a consumer or a business. I worked there and they are the antithesis of good business. Laughably, they give you the ethical business training when you work there like any other company does but they are the prime example of "do as I say not as I do" as they are NOT ethical for beans.

If you read the forums on amazon seller central, everything you are saying is correct. I work for a big used book store, thankfully we fulfill our own orders, but FBA, fulfilled by amazon is a mess as you talked about. The expenses they take is crazy and it goes up every year of course..

[@patrickcardon1643]

Yup, been running H10 and seems storage, FBA and selling fees combined are hitting 50% of the retail price, VAT included ... they milk the sellers any which way they can ... returns are offered by Amazon but paid by the sellers, inviting scammers and buy to try then chuck the product away because of course they won't get it back in resellable condition. It's a scam. Been looking into it and don't know whether to still go for it and look for something else

This mentality has permeated throughout every little burb and corner of society. I live in the Bay Area, where currently an average “lunch special” in a regular neighborhood Chinese restaurant runs $15-$16 before tax and tip. Burritos are $15. When I was younger, it seemed that a smaller business owner understood that their level of operation meant they’d be middle class. Today, even solo businesses working from a spare room think they’ll get rich. I have watched as AT&T, who was broken up into smaller concerns (monopoly laws) has now grown into a behemoth that is 100 times larger than they were when they were forced to divest. It appears that our elected officials don’t really care and most of the population is just happy they can buy a 60 inch flat tv for under $800. One major contributing factor has been the rise of the “Gospel of Wealth”, with its origins in Wallace Waddles book (1910), “Science of Getting Rich”. and has manifested into a society where 75% of Gen Z, expects to get rich as an influencer. I’m afraid we’re quite simply doomed.

[@teksyndicate]

I don't think it's merely the idea that everyone thinks they are going to get rich... I think the real issue is the way everyone wants to get rich... the whole profit motive has changed. I don't have much of a problem with people who are making a product or providing a service then selling it... but I do take issue with these companies who try to own everything then rent it... amazon makes their money with fees that are basically money for nothing. Sure, it's money to access amazon's customers... but amazon isn't making anything or really doing much of anything for those transactions... they are just extracting wealth... like Apple and Google are doing with their app stores...

Then when I tried actually selling used computers on there it wouldnt let me sell anything cause I needed "Brand Authorization" which either requires a letter from the company's legal team giving me permission to sell USED computers or receipts showing i bought minimum 10 units recently from the manufacturer. Hell no, I'll stick with eBay which has none of that nonsense, thanks.

I hear what you're saying but it also sucks when companies don't at least match the price they have at Amazon when consumers try to order direct. Free shipping is one of the worst things for consumers that came with the rise of e-commerce. And what also sucks about Amazon is getting around paying employment taxes and by basically joining the "gig economy" and making people think they are their own boss driving Amazon trucks. Great business idea but horrible for the consumer/uninformed entrepreneur. Don't support uber/eats/ Postmates/instacart or any of that shit.

The truth is Amazon is successful because of the way our society is set up. We use prime because we can’t afford to pay the price for the small stores and shipping. We make less money and rent keeps going up. Modern capitalism has misery down to a science . They can predict every move you would make. For example : so you speak of resisting by going to other stores and direct purchase. Amazon: will either buy you or corner the market with cheap legal imitations of your product even if they are loosing money.

In my mind, Amazon is the market. They've been allowed to claim ownership over the functions of the market. It's just as ridiculous as if a single person owned the entire silk road trade route and had a hand in every exchange.

[@itstuffiwan4997]

Amazon became the market by offering customers a better deal. It's that simple. Amazon still has much better customer service compared to other chains. And I am not talking about the Mom-and-Pop shops, those already got thrown out of the market by massive retailers and those that are left are often as ruthless as any other option. When it's about some trivial stuff I don't need in under a week more often go to some chinese marketplaces, because in the end that's where the stuff is coming anyway and I don't pay double for Amazon and the 3 middle men before Amazon. If I need secury I go with amazon, NOT brick and mortar or the online retailers. Amazon does not question a broken return, does not charge for shipping it back and does not sent me to the producer to claim repairs or defunds. All happened to me before in online and offline stores who prey on our patriotic spirits and our love of "small" businessmen.

[@SlipperyTeeth]

@@itstuffiwan4997 I don't think you understood the video or my comment. The market doesn't "offer deals". The market is the substrate on which transactions occur.

[@itstuffiwan4997]

@@SlipperyTeeth I fully understood the video and your comment. Amazon is not "the market". A lot of people shop outside of it. Amazon is a controlled sub section of "the wider market" where sellers have to adhere to what Amazon decides, which are stricter rules in favor of the customer. I participate in this Amazon controlled environment because Amazon has repeatedly shown to me to be more trustworthy in comperison to even dealing with the same sellers in their online shops. So, Amazon offers me a great deal, unlike you said. You can see Amazon as a monopoly if you want, but unlike the real state monopoly, I can choose to partake in transactions or not. I can still shop elsewhere nationally, which I don't ussually do besides for groceries, or I can even use "the international market" to buy my goods. Usually the accusations of being a monopoly come from people loosing their power (like with the unions attacking Amazon despite Amazon offering better pay than all the unionized retailers or those same retailers accusing amazon of stealing their customers) or people who got the worse end of the stick, like Tek Syndicate here. To make it clear, I don't know the full story besides his accusations against amazon. I give him the point that I can imagine that it happened like described. I only see the thing he does not say out loud. No big retailer would give him shelfspace like he described, nor buy his products. Because I have checked his store, and all I see is some tech coming from a chinese factory with his own branding, and mugs and T-Shirts. Should I want to support him in the future, which I find likely, I will buy his overprized mugs and T-Shirts because I want the money to go to him. To comment on his later parts of the video. Yes, I have had a better deal with Amazon Prime in the past, I was a "serf" and payed up because Amazon provided a service for it that was worth it. No, I don't have it anymore, because I don't need all the extras they have thrown in without benefit for me, while raising the "taxes" all us serfs pay for our overlords and don't complain about elsewhere. I can leave Amazon behind, I cannot do so with "the market" that the State has carved out with the monopoly on v1olence and """provides services""" and charges me and all of us for it. What a lot of people don't want to acknoledge is that the State is the biggest and meanest Monopoly out there, and no company can compare to what states have done to "their people" and their competitors and their people in the past and still do it to this day. Soo, yeah, I don't see a problem with people voluntarily engaging in trades and making contracts. When Amazon breached some contracts with sellers, they should be charged, if they breached some laws, the same applies, even more so as the state is still the bigger fish in the sea.

[@MichaelCook-oo8lj]

In the early days of capitalism, free markets were a thing, of course. Free markets hardly exist now, but not because we aren't in capitalism anymore but because the capitalist endgame is and always has been monopoly. Competition, by definition, means winners and losers. The winners use their spoils to stomp on competition. The result is concentration of power and resources in fewer and fewer hands. We live in the age of monopoly capitalism - not "techno-feudalism". Why can our current system not be defined as feudalism? A few reasons, but a big one has to do with the fact that under feudalism, a single individual - the monarch (usually a king) - was essentially the owner of ALL property in the realm, and would delegate this property to lesser vassals in exchange for loyalty, and these vassals in turn would delegate smaller chunks of land to even lesser vassals, all the way down to the serf, who got a plot of land and a house in exchange for loyalty to the lord of the manor and everything that entailed. Markets were closed, not because of monopoly companies controlling the market, but because the king had to issue a license to do any kind of business. A guild - controlled by the workers and craftsmen - would have an exclusive license to practice their trade. Under feudalism, kingdoms or realms were non-fixed, as different kings challenged one another for land. Feudalism recognized no nation-states. It's tempting to see what exists now as being similar, but its only similar on the surface. Amazon's monopoly doesn't come from a license granted from a king who owns everything, and sellers on Amazon are not like feudal vassals pledging loyalty to a lord in exchange for control over a piece of land. Amazon is never going to call upon its "vassals" to go to war or do a crusade. Feudalism was an agricultural system of class and property relations that are fundamentally different from capitalism both in terms of the structure of property relations and the contending classes of that system. The contending classes in feudalism were noble and serf; in capitalism, we have bourgeois, petite-bourgeois, and workers. These various classes are historically different. It's very important for people to recognize that the current system we live in is not an aberration of capitalism, it's exactly what capitalism was always supposed to be: ruthless competition leading to the establishment of monopolies.

[@teksyndicate]

I think many think of capitalism in terms of keynesian ideals... And they think communism means brutal totalitarian dictatorship.. so the terms are somewhat corrupted, hence the need for better ways to describe our current situation so we can fight it more effectively. I'd suggest reading the book if you have time.

[@MichaelCook-oo8lj]

@@teksyndicate I agree, the discourse around these things is very confused and we do need more clarity. I'm certainly open minded and I'd love to read the book, I'm sure it's a stimulating read. But I'm not sure 'techno-feudalism' offers any clarity. I still think monopoly capitalism very adequately describes our current state of affairs. I happen to be a communist, and to me this doesn't have anything to do with brutal dictatorship. Nor do I think that current states which claim to aspire to communism fit that definition and instead when people think of China or Cuba for instance, they're thinking of a specter largely fabricated by those who control the levers of mass communication rather than the real thing. For instance, it's very interesting to go back to the late 1930s and 40s and read what the American press had to say about the USSR back then. The coverage was surprisingly positive, no doubt due to the fact that the US and USSR briefly set aside ideological differences to team up against Hitler. There is no truly independent media in the west, only mouth-pieces to greater or lesser extent, and these mouthpieces unintentionally and intentionally confuse the discourse and sow deception and push culture wars because it's very useful.

Yanis is an open socialist in his economics and politics. (As am I for that matter) If you have some idealized form of capitalism, you really need to wake up. Actual capitalists have never allowed it and will never allow it to exist. Yanis uses the term "techno feudalism" as a scare tactic to wake up small business people who really aren't the problem, except when they start supporting fascism, which many did prior to WW2.

[@deusxyz]

ive seen talks on techno feudalism, I disagree its not capitalism tho, normally we call it late stage capitalism, monopoly accumulation was described by Marx

[@teksyndicate]

I think late stage capitalism is a less effective term because it still makes people think they are simply seeking profit, which is true, but that's a limited version of what is going on. These companies are rent-seeking... as in, they are seeking money for nothing... and they wish to do so, by operating giant digital fiefdoms. Even a middleman generally had to buy a good to re-sell it or make a connection or do some work... the apple app store (for instance) is completely passive and they charge a 30% premium. That kind of wealth extraction is different and we need a way to define it so we can fight it.

[@deusxyz]

@teksyndicate I agree, its definitely a quantative leap of capitalist accumulation.. it reminds me of what the banks or stock brokers do, gear the system to extract capital, but at a higher level.. I wouldn't say no work, its not totally automated, but much like bankers they are also not creating real wealth, just finding new ways to leach it from society
