my first inclination was to throw Marx out after read this.

but I hadn't really read it.. so I read the spark notes...

this rings true for me...

To increase their capital, capitalists rely on workers who put their labor power at the disposal of capitalists. Workers treat their labor power as a commodity and sell it to factory owners. The capitalist buys the workers’ labor power and puts the worker to use making products. The capitalist appropriates the product, since it does not belong to the worker, and sells it on the market. Capital accumulates through the creation of surplus-value. Since a commodity’s value equals the labor time congealed in it, this extra value can only come from the workers. In fact, says Marx, the capitalist forces the worker to work longer hours to generate this surplus value. The capitalist, to generate profits, must keep the working day at a certain length. Part of the day is spent generating value that keeps the workers fed and clothed, while the remainder is spent generating surplus value, which goes to the capitalist himself. This is the essence of exploitation.

so yes, I also do think capitalism is.. not a good...

because what I found.. is the harder I work for a corporation.. they don't pay me equivalent to my production..

they pay me based on the time I am there.. so I get paid the same as 'joe' that sluffs off work. oh, I might get a bit of a bigger raise, but over all the difference between my pay and 'joe' would be insignificant compared to the total paid.

we have wandered off into the land of lies and delusions..

and they don't want use to find our way back.

it is too profitable.
