If a worker works for 20 dollars an hour, produces 100 dollars worth of value, and the boss pockets the profit (after expenses and all the other things), is this not considered theft?

Just organize with other people and create your own company where you share profit with each other. It's that simple. What, it's too much work / it's too complicated? Well that's a shame,

The boss takes his cut for connecting the worker to the customer. Work has no inherent value.

Marx's observation wasn't that labour was the root of all wealth; any idiot could tell you that.
It also wasn't that the individual worker was being ripped off either; on average he's getting fair market value.
His observation was that class conflict was the primary driving force of history, and just as the bourgeois overthrew the aristocracy in their liberal revolutions so too would the proletariat overthrow the bourgeoisie.

>> No.50909961

the boss has to pay himself in some manner. also, the worker's boss is likely only a shift manager and not the factory owner, so if that person is pocketing those profits, then that guy's boss and everyone else above that and corporate would be hounding that man, as well as the tax office, be hounding him for COMMITTING EMBEZZLEMENT AND FRAUD

Finance and economics are pseudoscientific make believe garbage, capitalism is inherently unstable, exploitative and unsustainable with a built in expiration date. All finance assets like money,crypto,debt,bonds etc are purely parasitic in nature and serve no purpose nor have any inherent value and profit is theft. Ever escalating recessions, poverty,wealth inequality, disease, pollution, slavery, conflict and wars are fundamental and necessary functions of it, not glitches, and every single financier or crypto dudebro is a literal parasite.

The boss holds the risk- if there is a fire and the warehouse burns down, the worker can walk away without having to pay for anything. The boss will lose everything. The boss owns the capital, machines, warehouse, and intellectual property. And spent time and energy developing all of that. The boss re-invests profits that he takes, from the work (value) that the workers produce, into growing the business.

The boss came up with the idea, took the risk, secured investors, capital, and made sure that the business logic was sound, and became successful and offered jobs to the miserable communists like yourself that couldnt be fucked with coming up with anything original by yourselves. -Henceforth why you are theives. You just steal, and maybe the most sickening part about you loser degenerates is how you try to make it sound like you are the virtuous ones when you steal. Dumbfucks.

What, you expect the 100 bucks to be split 50/50 between the boss and worker ? Fucking retards. No wonder the USSR failed. Dumbass.

Business gets indebted to banks, the bank reaps all the gains while doing the minimum effort. This is the real thievery.

the modern bank takes no risk since they are all connected to central banking aka money printer. If debtor cant pay back, the bank takes whatever assets he has left while losing nothing (the money was never theirs it got created in the loan)

It wasn't theft when the worker consented and signed a contract to work for $20 an hour. Is it theft if it costs you $0.25 to grow a potato but you sell it for $0.30? Theft is when you take someone else's property by force, you know, like every communist government that has ever existed.

often the boss is another worker hired for the job and competition to get the best boss is to ensure the best productivity (a shitty or even subpar boss can completely wreck a company with hundreds or thousands of workers). that being said it seems to my unprofessional opinion that some of these bosses are still paid too much but i don't have the arrogance to say i know that for sure. sometimes the market sets the price.

but if what you mean by boss is the owner or owners then they take profit yes. the profit is their reward for setting up that business in the first place, which can take a lot of skill and a lot of upfront capital and a lot of risk. the reward has to be proportional to the risk or they wouldn't have taken that risk to begin with. sometimes maybe they may seem to make too much money, but again, the market may be setting the price there as well, they take as much money as the market can afford them to take and any more the business goes under or suffers (subpar productivity from not paying enough to get the best people). everyone is just trying to get the maximum amount of money the market will allow.

you can try to micromanage that, to take over the "decisions" made by the market, but with so many factors at play that is beyond the capabilities of most people to price things in effectively. with the dunning-kruger effect working on politicians and bureaucrats trying to control prices and wages, they may be les effective at price and wage control then they think, wrecking companies, and in some cases allowing people to starve. not to mention few people in such positions of power are ever benevolent.

so you have multiple factors at play greed, incompetence, malice, markets, etc. and getting the ideal wages, prices, and etc can be difficult if not impossible no matter how you try to play it. and not much can realistically be done about that.

>> No.50910439

>>50909828
No because the only reason the worker can generate 100 dollars of value is because the boss invested heavily in $1,000,000's of machinery, factories, tools, health and safety, regulations, taxes, and other investments related to the business, all risking his own capital along the way from start to finish.

Yeah, and the solution is to start our own businesses, which should be as easy as possible... except the state has raised taxes so high that only big corps can run a business, there is so much red tape and rules and regulations that only the huge players can afford the cost, thus creating monopolies.

Make it so every dumb fuck can start a business and the free market would return in an instant. The problem is not capitalism, it's that the STATE keeps bailing out these failing businesses when they should be allowed to fail, and not only that they subsidize them too. There is no competition anymore and people blame "late stage capitalism" whereas it's actually late state "state capitalism" which is a blurring of the line between state and industry.

You want that gilded age of capitalism back where anyone could make it, you want a small government and low taxes.
