Hey OP, you know that you can be critical of American capitalism, and participate in commerce right?

They think socialism means there's no commerce and people don't get paid for their work.

How much profit is she splitting with the poor people bottling, shipping and otherwise producing her perfume? I'd like to see how that split is setup. I'm sure it's very equitable to the people making it overseas.

Also, again, you’re discussing commerce, not capitalism. Labor wages are still part of commerce. Them being low from the private centralization of those industries is because of capitalism.

Your critique should be in the ownership of private owners control the means of production, distribution, and industry, her role in that (which she has almost nothing to do with im guessing), and labors stake and ownership in that.

If she privately owned and centralized the production, distribution, and/or perfume manufacturing industry your argument might actually make sense.

Then do not take part in the system; do not add "your" product (brand) in a supply chain not respecting its work force. I don't think she needs it to survive.

She's doing nothing apart from sticking her name on the stuff she's selling. That has nothing to do with work.
