Sick and tired of businesses obsessed with maximizing profits. I want food and shelter. I couldn't give 2 shits about "careers" (i.e. have a job define who I am) and making some business owner rich off of my labor. As long as there's a net gain, shut the fuck up.

The BULLSHIT we have to go through just for food and shelter. Wtf man. Only a conformist bootlicker bitch that loves sucking employer cum could think this system is healthy.

marx explains how in capitalism, workers don't get paid for the work they do. they get paid for their ability to work, their capacity to work. in other words, they get paid what it costs to keep themselves alive in order to go to work. if you subtract what is produced by the worker from what is costs to keep him alive, you'll find that there is some extra value, called surplus value. that is the source of profit in capitalism. marx also called that exploitation, because the capitalist (who really doesn't do anything), accrues capital only because he has capital to begin with, and the worker has nothing to sell except his labor power. and that original capital comes either through inheritance or through primitve extraction, like violent slavery or colonization.

sakai explains that america is designed from the ground up as a white supremacist state and that the so-called white working/middle class constitutes a petit-bourgeois category doomed to alienation as they desperately try to maintain their status against the black and indiginous nations, who constitute internal colonies.

People have always required to do some amount of work for a residence.

I agree real estate is overvalued and homes shouldn't be financialized, but what we want and what is reality are two different things.

Adapt to the system and gain from it. Know that by wagecucking aimlessly, you're unlikely to make it. Invest every spare dollar that you have so you can escape from this existence.

A decade of living frugally and wagecucking hardcore in your 20s is worth it if you can set yourself up for the rest of your life thereafter.

no i mean capitalists literally pay workers enough to survive, maybe a little bit more if you're in the first world to placate them enough so they don't rebel.

capitalism represents an improvement over the slave economy because the proletariat as a class can be rented out. owning a person as a chattel slave is a sunk investment if they die, plus you have to pay for them 24/7. capitalists only need to be responsible for a wagecuck's wellbeing for the hours they work, and if they die there is a bunch of unemployed people ready to take their place.

well the marxist question is "what is their relationship to the means of production"

as someone with hiring and firing powers, you might be a very small capitalist, a petit-bourgeois. but since video games aren't socially productive labor, and largely based on consumerism, you might be a lumpenproletarian (one who grifts off of other classes' value without really contributing anything).

Slavery and serfdom is more of an honest system. At least you know where you exist in the totem pole, and you know you're unlikely to ever move beyond that.

Neo-liberalism on the other hand propagadizes that ANYONE can /makeit/ if they work hard enough and accumulate enough good goy points in their workplace. We are being sold a lie, because this system is just as controlled as the slave/serf system. Just look at wealth accumulation.

As someone from the lower class or middle class, moving to the upper class is next to impossible unless you're the inventor, director or owner of something that the upper class suddenly wants in massive quantities.

Marx did have valid critiques of the system in which he operated, but the solutions were retarded as fuck

The solution is not to abolish capital, but instead to harness it for the greater good under a nation state. Similar to how Norway or Sweden operated, prior to the multiculti shit.

A nation can have an equitable society that is prosperous, but it requires a big trade surplus to do so. Some countries like Norway have natural resources that are exploited efficiently, and the proceeds from those sales go into a Sovereign Wealth Fund that allows them to invest overseas.

China for example utilizes it's mass population as a resource to produce manufactured goods far below the price point of Western firms, at a similar level of quality.

Golden statements.

Also don't fall for the startup meme. Unless you are well-connected (your dad can introduce you to VCs for seed/series-X funding) and privileged, its not worth it. Failure is looked upon differently based on your socio-economic status. So if you are privileged, those failures can make headlines, and if you are not, recruiters (the fact that you need recruiters should imply that you are not privileged/well-connected) will ignore you.

The utmost dishonesty is: anyone can /make it/, as long as they work hard and start-Up.

It's a lie. In order to be successful in startup games, you ideally should have enough financial cushion to run your family without salary for 3 years. That's privilege. Not to mention, 300K play-money a rich dad or family member or angel can provide.

The thing about Marx is, he realized the importance of the State in general and the states in particular as indispensable, as cornerstones of capitalism. Few theorists have shared this insight since Marx, most think of the state as irrelevant, parallel or opposite to capitalism. Marx had planned a layout for a detailed analysis of the State, but died before he got to begin on that. Grundrisse and some passages here and there, in the Capital and elsewhere, are all we get - from Marx. From there on, you have to rely on people who at least follow his methodology. Lenin, Bakhunin and Grossman are a good start and each one has strong points. I recommend Zombie Capitalism for a rigorous explanation of this system that avoids both the hurt feelings of liberalism and the oversimplification of certain reactionary "theorists".

How am I wrong, idiot?

Let me school you.

I don't just say "this economy is great!" to cope.

1. Discouraged workers (someone that wants a job, but gave up and hasn't applied in over 4 weeks) are NOT counted as unemployed.

2. People who make HARDSHIP wages ARE counted as employed.

Putting those 2 together = makes the unemployment stat look better/lower than it actually is. It is a lie that fools without critical thinking believe.

44% of 22-27 yr old college grads are underemployed (inb4 just do computer science as if everyone is capable of that. Even they have like a 24ish% underemployment rate for 22-27 yr olds: https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/college-labor-market/college-labor-market_compare-majors.html
Think about that. NEARLY 1/4 cs graduates aged 22-27 will be underemployed (don't know how it evens out over time. Still not amazing though. It's around 34% when including all ages and all majors).

78% of full time workers live paycheck to paycheck ( *LITERALLY one paycheck away from homelessness and that is basically poverty* ). *42% of americans will retire broke* (so you give up the best years of your life being someone's bitch just to retire with nothing), 57% of americans can't afford an unexpected 500 dollar bill, 50% of renters are cost burdened (spend over 30% of their income on rent. Half of those spend over 50% of their income on rent), 30% of metropolis city jobs (where most jobs are created) pay hardship wages (not enough to move out with) and 32% pay livable wages (basically poverty) which leaves 38% that are decent (I say decent because you also have to take into consideration the toxicity of work culture. Also, some jobs ONLY pay livable or up BECAUSE of the hours put in. For instance, the average american works 47 hours a week. 49% work 50 hours or more a week. Both of which inflate the wage stats into looking better than it actually is), etc.

Do not think of this as a still image. Think of it this way:
You're right, devs can very well work on their own. This is what they did when the field was still fresh. Their success made them form companies of their own. Marx describes a process like this as "primitive accumulation of capital". In short, they got the early start and would not let other "free" devs repeat their own steps. Now, all new devs have to work in the environment the previous ones have created. They have to sell their capacity to work for the previous ones, while the previous ones, no longer devs but company owners, now have different positions and interest. Exceptions exist, but end up strengthening the rule.

>>15213686
It's still not surplus value. That's because a worker's capacity to work costs more than his daily food. You need a home, water, some time off, some pleasure in order to be productive. (This, by the way, is the reason bosses try to reduce that cost, only to raise it when it backfires)
But, it's not surplus value. What the working class produces is massively more valuable than what it gets in return.

>> No.15214440

>>15213686
(cont.)
Surplus value is value that can be used as capital to make profit. A worker has no capital or he stops being a worker and capitalists have all the willingness and means to prevent a worker from becoming a potential competitor.

What you get with your wage only has use value, not commodity value. You can't resell it at a profit. You don't get surplus value from wageslaving.

You mean noone is forcing them to work for one or the other particular company. They are forced to sell their capacity for work in general, though.

His point isn't that you shouldn't make personal changes and adaptations. The point is, there are unfair limits to those changes. Moving to a cheaper location usually means a) spending more on transportation, b) finding a lower-paying job or c) having to make a one-way trip you can't afford.
The "earn more" option either presupposes there is a high-paying position available that isn't precarious as fuck or it presupposes there are trade unions prepared to back your demand. Otherwise, you have to find another job, lose your free time, risk not being as productive and, at the end of the day, still not make as much as your boss.

My employer pays me 80k a year, I work 40 hours a week and get 2 weeks paid holiday. But can I trade in 50% of my salary to work half as much? No I can't. And while I can work hard to get more money, I could probably be making 120k in a few more years, nothing I do can reduce how much I work. This is where the entire system reveals its ugly face. Instead of giving me a 15% raise, why can't the company just promote me by giving my every friday off?

"America's economic system meets the definition of capitalism, but not pure free market capitalism. America has a mixed-market economy. This means it is a hybrid of corporate, state, social, free-market, crony, neoliberal, neocon, mercantile, etc. capitalism."

Dude this is literally why i'm going back into the coast guard once i'm done with my degree. Military life is so much more simple. If you aren't a low ranking scum and don't have a retarded job, the hours are much better than a traditional job as well. I'm in the reserves still, and I fucking worked four hours today. I'm the supervisor so I decided to let everyone out early. We all get paid the exact same amount as if we had worked for eight hours regardless.

Why do you think I wrote that in quotes? You should be directing that comment to the guy I was responding to. He's the one arguing that bs.

Ya, typical for profit jobs are total ass. I'm thinking of switching to a teaching job. Teachers get like almost 4 months off (summer break, winter break, spring break, and holidayd off). Job is easy too (not fast paced). Most seem to be union too (so job stability). Pay is pretty good compared to most jobs. Especially considering the easy work (say teaching 4th graders. It's just teaching basic multiplications and grammar). Easy job along with almost 4/12 months off while making what takes other 12+ months.
(Ik someone is going to get butthurt and say "teaching is hard because you work 50hrs a week and have to make a plan for the year during the summer". Bollocks. People who argue this have no real world experience and have no idea how easy teachers have it compared to the rest).
