I am literally a communist, the GOP couldn’t manipulate me into anything. I hate basically all American politicians because they are all servants of imperialism and enemies of the working class. Have fun cheering for as they sit and do nothing while people get rounded up into camps (this is literally already happening btw not some hyperbolic future)

Also, “defensive” funding for Israel is still supporting the genocide. Israel’s belief in its own impunity (thanks to things like the iron dome) gives it confidence to commit endless atrocities because they don’t fear proportional consequences.

Also, Israel shouldn’t be defended. Rogue states that commit genocide have no right to exist as far as I’m concerned.

Well she certainly has the qualifications! (Being a sell out and a genocide apologist)

Yeh I’m coming back to this thread late, but I have conflated “bosses” and “owners” (or more technically “capitalists”, or more specifically “people who do nothing except sit back and watch their portfolio increase” lol).

I actually thank you for this comment chain, because it’s reminded me to choose words more specifically and not just assume everyone’s on the same page when it comes to terminology. Of course every workplace needs people to manage it, even if there were no individual owners!

The labour theory of value is completely compatible with everything you just said.

10 workers do 1 value worth of work on product, whether that be manufacturing, shipping, logistics, marketing, so on

boss pays them 0.5 value each

boss sells for 10

boss lives off the stolen 5 value

I am posing this in the most abstract simple way possible. Obviously in an actual supply chain, many bosses would be stealing different amounts of value all throughout the process, as each worker added value to the final product over time.

*2/3 of the tiny portion of the value someone creates that their boss actually lets them keep
