The nigga Sankara

wtf

totally

@Borzo your second point has been *proven* wrong by history. wages do not fall, but rise. marx was wrong.

thanks though

maybe ill look at that more

No it isn't

saying no doesn't make it false

or

true

The only reason that wages have risen is that it goes against the capitalist mode of production

Because they are afraid of revolution

And so they have to increase wages to push away that potential revolution

Forced to increase living standards to appease the proletariat

However, wages ever drop today

And are continually dropping

Because that threat of revolution is no longer around

Due to the fall of the Soviet Union mainly

Let us now seriously consider the main cases in which a rise of wages is attempted or a reduction of wages resisted.

1. We have seen that the value of the labouring power, or in more popular parlance, the value of labour, is determined by the value of necessaries, or the quantity of labour required to produce them.

If, then, in a given country the value of the daily average necessaries of the labourer represented six hours of labour expressed in 50 Dollars, the labourer would have to work six hours daily to produce an equivalent for this daily maintenance.

If the whole working day was twelve hours, the capitalist would pay him the value of his labour by paying him, say, $50

Half the working day would be unpaid labour, and the rate of profit would amount to 100 percent. But now suppose that, consequent upon a decrease of productivity, more labour should be wanted to produce, say, the same amount of agricultural produce, so that the price of the average daily necessaries should rise from fifty to 65 dollars

In that case the value of labour would rise by about one third, or 33 1/3 percent.

Eight hours of the working day would be required to produce an equivalent for the daily maintenance of the labourer, according to his old standard of living.

The surplus labour would therefore sink from six hours to four, and the rate of profit from 100 to 50 percent.

But in insisting upon a rise of wages, the labourer would only insist upon getting the increased value of his labour, like every other seller of a commodity, who, the costs of his commodities having increased, tries to get its increased value paid.

If wages did not rise, or not sufficiently rise, to compensate for the increased values of necessaries, the price of labour would sink below the *value* of labour, and the labourer's standard of life would deteriorate.

Hello, my dudes. Sorry for a blatant plug, but I've just finished my first zine called Amity Underground. The first issue is about the Alt-Right. You can find it on Scribd: https://www.scribd.com/book/409412898/Alt-Right-Inferno-Amity-Underground-1
