    The problem with what you’re saying is that either you’re employed without any if the benefits of employment, or you are a capitalist.

    In either way you lose.

    On the other hand a company can be a cooperative or state owned.

    But in the US you hate the state, you are indoctrinated with individualism and you hate socialism. So it’s a lost cause.

      I mean, there’s no reason you can’t structure your business as a cooperative (in fact, you probably should) but typically we use the term “self-employed” for one person businesses, where the distinction is kinda moot.
