Let go of your conspiracy theory
He says as he extracts the surplus value of my labour into capital
There is no such thing as surplus value
He says as he lowers the wage
@Hooty I guess that all of that attempt at reasoning with you didn't work
I mean you went along with all of it until the end
You can't reason with a liberal
You already get a surplus value from your earnings
we discussed this
Especially not a neo liberal
if the boss makes a profit, then they're putting less into you than they get out
Whenever value is left over belongs to someone else
if the boss owns a machine that they profit off of, then maintenance is less than revenue
wages are your maintenance cost
therefore, because profit is being made, you produce more than you are given as wages
basic syllogistic logic
a is true
b is true
if a, then b
are you starting to see the big picture here?
He's blinded by the illusion of neo liberalism, of course not
okay let's go over the first two statements again
If you didn't produce more, then your boss wouldn't profit
If you did, you would get paid more
Learn some economics
That is basic economics
is profit when you have more revenue than expenses?
You produce more in his perception, but not in yours
Because value is subjective
Something you don’t believe
the whole idea of currency is that we all agree that it has value
if we didn't, it would be worth nothing
Is the value subjective or not?
Because the labor theory of value says value is not subjective
the whole point of currency is that it has value that large numbers of people agree on
it's designed to be as objective as possible
Is value subjective or not?
the intent of currency is to provide objective value
Is value subjective or not?
