@Hooty no it doesn't because if owning the workplace and reconceiving the basis for how the workplace is managed were an option available for every proletarian, markets would become obsolete

Money and free trade is like an enhanced version of bartering

I woke

Life isn't a game @Buy me a pc

Bartering should be easier for you to understand

@Forerunner Vladimir I know, dumbass.

Rip chat

Follow your leader

yea, i'm sort of shocked.
like bringing up historical and irrelevant models of economics is supposed to make an argument?

Dear kulaks

Despacito

hey, if you're a christian, why don't you read about the devout christian communities that are described in the book of acts? i'm sure you'd think their economics and capitalism are one and the same, lol

Maybe you need an infographic

That might help

i was being sarcastic

If I have a burger 🍔 and you have some pizza 🍕 and I want to pizza and you want a burger so we trade, we both gain value based on our subjective preferences.

Does that make sense?

@Borzo you are the absolute unit, very cool

Nobody is being exploited in this scenario

okay, but having to work at the sole discretion of somebody who nominally claims ownership over the workplace versus starving seems like a lesser of two evils scenario

Better dead than red

kys

Now instead of using burgers as money, we use something that has greater utility value that can be exchanged for anything 💰

So it makes life easier and more convenient

my counterargument still applies, dude

Die then @Buy me a pc

In free market capitalism, this trade principle is applied across the board so everyone gains in value including in the workplace.

What if

I ping every comrade

So they can yeet erisan

working at the sole discretion of the bougeoisie is preferable to dying, but neither is good, you have given no rebuttal to this

@Borzo fuck you

Starve to death first

Who should be rewarded? The people who labour and create the product and actually create the wealth, or some guy who owns private property and does basically nothing?

Me.

your workers are worth more than you @Buy me a pc
