When the ancient world was in its last throes, the ancient religions were overcome by Christianity. When Christian ideas succumbed in the 18th century to rationalist ideas, feudal society fought its death battle with the then revolutionary bourgeoisie. The ideas of religious liberty and freedom of conscience merely gave expression to the sway of free competition within the domain of knowledge.

If you didn’t value the money earned from a job you don’t like, you wouldn’t do the fucking job

okay

so you value the paycheck more

so your employer makes profit from you, yes?

And instead starve to death

GG

they make more money than they put in?

You both make a profit

Either do a job you hate or starve

okay

so they make a profit

that means they get more out than they put in

would you say that your wages are what your employer invests in you?

You act like the worker is held down, unable to make a profit or accumulate capital

answer the question

are your wages an investment of capital?

on the part of the employer?

yes

He doesn't even know what capital is @DA GOMMIE JOO

okay

so we can come to the conclusion that your employer takes more value from your labor than they return to you through wages

therefore, your wages are worth less than your labor

Are you saying you can’t buy equipment with your money?

therefore, you are losing value

You can’t buy the means of production?

no, that never comes into it

that's something else entirely

Yes you can

this is not covering self-employment

this is covering traditional businesses

you have just agreed to a series of statements, the conclusion of which is that wages are theft

do you see any flaws here?

You could buy a 3-D printer and make your own toys from home

for example

this only applies to traditional businesses

do you see any flaws in my reasoning from a business perspective?

How are wages theft?

I just explained it

I didn’t agree to that

you agreed to it
