    15-20%

    Oh honey, no. Right direction, but no. Very very dew people get even half the value they create for their masters in the rare slivers where they’re allowed to do real work.

      Surplus labor value. Wouldn’t be a big deal if we all equally owned all the businesses we work for. That surplus labor value would still flow to the workers.

      But while we suffer a capitalist waynof life, those funds are siphoned upwards to the 1%, who then use the money stolen from us to purchase the government over time.

      This is why end stage capitalism is not preventable with reforms. You just delay the inevitable. The early 20th century labor movements only bought us a little bit of time. All of those people who fought, lost, suffered, died… it was all for just a fuckin delay?

      What a waste.
