If your wage wasn't less than the full leftover value, your boss would make no money
ofc, then my boss wouldn't of started a business
@fuck12moredeadcopspussy ass skeleton
Most first world workers are labor aristocrats IMO
We don't face terrible exploitation on the regular
Like we're still having surplus value extracted, but the conditions have been improved at the expense of the third world
Most communist/marxist states didn't have anything resembling a burger restaurant or anything like that in the first place
What does that mean?
Because burgers are a waste of time @Otto
It's fucking food
Doctor's Sausage, bread, and some butter are more than sufficient
Not at their expense. Their conditions have improved but were always pretty shit
It is absolutely at their expense
Yeah, right
Being paid cents on the dollar of what labor is worth is to your detriment
Dollars are just worth a lot
*start your own business then*
People are living like kings
People in African mineral mines, South East Asian sweatshops, and Latin American farms aren't benefitting greatly from our presence there
@3v6en8 That's becoming part of the cycle of exploitation necessary in capitalism
The dollar commands an insane amount of purchasing power
So we should stop buying their goods so that they wouldn't need to exploit their people?
No
GG @fuck12moredeadcops, you just advanced to level 5!
Your individual choice not to purchase gods doesn't affect the extraction of wealth from the periphery
The only way to stop the imbalance would be to tank the dollar
ofc, micro to macro scale
Like I could decide not to go to walmart, and I could maybe get a couple hundred people to do it with me, but it doesn't systemically challenge wealth extraction
Is Bernie still alive ?
ofc, I meant we should all boycott goods from foreign countries
Hypothetically, if all Westerners stopped buying things made in the third world, yes it would disrupt imperialist extraction
But uh
Then they would get paid even less lol
good luck doing that
We are the highest bidder
We should all rise up together and kill the rich right?
Whoah whoah whoah
Violence is wrong
My bad, lets tax the rich till they're not rich?
Physically remove the rich, and steal their stuff.
Wait if there’s no rich people
