Italian neo-Kulak Steals The People's Factory Italian neo-Kulak Steals The People's Factory
The People's Cube ^ | August 24, 2013

Posted on 08/25/2013 12:22:16 AM PDT by cunning_fish

Neo-Kulak Fabrizio Pedroni wished his employees a happy summer vacation and smiled sardonically as they filed out of the building to enjoy a few brief moments of rest from their otherwise endless work days. How could they have known that behind their backs he was secretly arranging to steal the electric component business where they had labored tirelessly throughout their lives? That night, he began dismantling the factory in northern Italy and packing its machinery off to Poland.

When later confronted, Pedroni was unable to conceal his simmering hatred of the working classes as clearly evidenced in a recent phone interview from Poland. The gloating factory overseer openly admitted, “Had I told them earlier about any plans to shift the production abroad, they would have occupied my factory and seized all my stuff,” he said. The muffled sound of hysterical laughter could be heard in the background. He continued. “The plain truth is that I wanted my business to survive and there weren’t the right conditions for me to operate in Italy any longer.”

Bloomberg said:

employees and community, but like many entrepreneurs before him, he abandoned the ship called Italy because it was the only way to survive,” said Carlo Alberto Carnevale Maffe, professor of business strategy at Milan’s Bocconi University. “In Italy, most businesses like Firem have been posting losses for at least five years.”

Pedroni, 49, now lives in fear for his life after receiving multiple threats to himself and his family. He says he won’t change his mind about the choice he made for the company first opened by his grandfather after World War II. He’s not alone, with Italian companies from car firm Fiat SpA (FI) to Indesit Co. SpA (IND), the maker of ovens and fridges, moving production lines abroad to cut costs.

Pedroni is not the first cowardly Kulak to abandon his countrymen in this time of strife. As the valiant progressives of Italy’s ruling class labor tirelessly to feed and clothe the clambering masses, greed merchant hoarders continue to flee. “Many of my colleagues called me to say I was right and brave to do it,” Pedroni said of his move. “I’m not the first to go and won’t be the last.”

How dare he stab those brave workers in the back!
Everyone knows profits are evil and that businesses are merely greedy!
Years of losses are sustainable on top of ridiculous tax burdens!

Satire, but illustrative satire.

So he should go broke and bankrupt his company?

Who benefits from that?

Yes, that is true.
But it also features a satirical bend as the people’s cube loves to do.
And it is awesome.

On another thread about UPS there were repeated posts by one person about evil profit.
Hence my post

Excellent factual satire.

I'm sure Poland welcomes him and his factory. They saw the results of the liquidation of the Kulaks across the border, then had to live under the worthless commissars that "replaced" them.

A little known fact is that the EU, in the Treaty of Lisbon, officially rejects capitalism and instead has adopted an economic system called “social market economy”.

see:
SOCIAL MARKET ECONOMY EXPLAINED IN A SIMPLE WAY

Also available in Deutsch, Français

In order to support the successful introduction of the concept of the “Social Market Economy” in the Arab World, the Regional Program Near East/Mediterranean has the honor to publish the manual “Social Market Economy in the International Work of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung”.

“Social market economy” is soft fascism.

There is no such a thing as “soft” fascism.

The labor union, FIOM, is an actual arm of the Communist Party in Italy.

They are the biggest roadblock to any reforms by Italian companies trying to compete on a world stage.

Iceland walked out of talks to join the EU because they wanted to impose fishing restrictions on them.
