The employees of X, or any company for that matter. Businesses can only profit by extracting a portion of the value created by a laborer as value can only come from labor. This is exploitative because the laborer is by default put into a situation where they must sell their labor or starve and even still they only recieve a small percentage of the value they produce. This is effectively coercion at the threat of destitution.
If you want the reasoning behind my answer I can give that. I have a very strong and rigid code of ethics unbound by the social and economic structures I was born in to. I believe in the efficacy of civil disobedience and believe all people should engage in it when reasonable. I apply this not just to people but also whatever businesses they own. I believe we should not abide by unjust laws and should take the consequences for breaking them. Therefore X should not have abided by this unjust law and should have let itself be banned. I simply do not care how it would effect their profits or if it is a good business decision.
I never mentioned communism, I only described capitalism
I’m asking who’s labor is being exploited here?

O………k…………
So absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, just ……… anything but communism is bad?
Yeah I made my point about the topic at hand but you kept asking questions so the topic changed.
The topic never even remotely veered towards the benefits of communism over capitalism.

And the exploitation of labor? Where did that come into it?
You asked what I would do if I owned and ran X. I said I would never exploit others for labor as a way of saying I would never own a business.
Ah ok so you didn’t answer my question, you wanted to prove some anti-capitalist point that had nothing to do with the conversation.
