@Cage01170@EuropeElects Capitalists earn an income from the simple fact they own capital which workers use to produce wealth. The only way that is possible is if capitalists are taking a part of the value created by workers. Also we produce enough food for 1.5x the world population, for example
@Cage01170@EuropeElects So the value of wealth is determined by what exactly? And scarcity is fake. We produce more than enough for the entire world’s population to live comfortably, and could drastically reduce economic waste to produce even more. The problem is the parasitic capitalist class.
@CptTaiHai6969@Mont_Jiang Most Chinese workers earn between 500 and 1500 USD a month. For reference, a basic bowl of noodles in a restaurant will cost you something like 1.5 USD. Rent in tier 3 cities is like 3$/m2/month trending down. Yes working hours are insane, but Chinese workers are seeing the money
@GlidingMonkey@alex_du@Mont_Jiang@bimbocommunist That is the reality of a LOT of people in China and that demographic is only growing. And you have to realise they achieved that without economically exploiting any other country, China’s poor are fulfilling the role Bangladeshis are for the western led world order.
@Cage01170@EuropeElects The only force preventing people from becoming richer when the economy is growing is the fact the product of their labour is being stolen by the bourgeoisie. More people means more production and more economies of scale. You’re pointing at the wrong enemy.
@Cage01170@EuropeElects Absolute production per capita is up even adjusted to inflation. The capitalists have just been capturing more of that extra wealth than they’ve been paying their workers. You claim I don’t know anything about economics yet you ignore the most fundamental fact of capitalism.
@Cage01170@EuropeElects So if production is up but wages are down that means there’s a parasitic class hoarding the created wealth. A class that’s very happy to watch you blame your fellow worker from another country rather than themselves. Come on comrade, you’re close to getting it!
@Cage01170@EuropeElects Bruv it’s gdp per capita can you read? Also Spain put up price controls to fight inflation which ended up being among the mildest in Europe
@Cage01170@EuropeElects *Thing that has been an absolute success by every metric and that has made Spain the best performing economy in Europe*
You: “This fucking sucks actually”
