Ribit, you can call it "soviet" all you want -- and therefore effectively dismiss my comments as the rants of some sheepish "Communinist."
These concerns were raised long before the creation of Soviet Russia (which, if understood as Stalinism, cared next to nothing for the majority of citizens).
I don't think I made any sweeping generalizations. In fact, I stated that in many design studios, owners also work as directors (and therefore serve a necessary role in production). Small business owners (or part-owners as the case may be) are not the core of the problem.
In fact, the salaries of studio-owners is often much much less than those of the clients we work for. But as owners of studios, you have certain business demands which require our being taken advantage of.
We cannot leave it to our bosses to demand more money from clients, to demand longer turnarounds, etc. It hasn't worked in the past.
