"The point of the "gig economy" is to use the "did it with an app" trick to avoid labor laws, so that bosses can shift risks onto workers, because capitalists hate capitalism" (pluralistic.net)

In my experience they don’t hate capitalism, they love profit to a sociopathic degree, and employ others to be the face of the consequences of their decisions. If it becomes a press issue, they simply terminate the person in the position of direct oversight.

The only thing they seem to hate, if anything at all, is being held accountable for their actions. Capitalism is the reason all of this works in their favor, so I highly doubt they hold any animosity toward the economic system.
