@TheRealLesterGreen If that was true it would lead to the impossibility contradiction coming from the rising accumulation of overall social wealth seen in capitalism during times of relative peace and prosperity. Without the workers producing surplus value their would be no accounting for the profit and differences in profitability between firms, nations, industries, and time. It would imply a fixed pie with a zero sum total for economics. In fact labor has two values which make it the special component in commodity production. One value is that which is needed by the laborer on average to socially reproduce himself for the next pay period. The other is the value that at which his labor power is sold as the product of that labor which was done at the bargain of an average social value of reproducing his ability to work. He works only so long as he can make his employer a profit and he comes back to work only so long as he can reproduce his labor. Whittier he is paid by the piece or by the hour his employer seeks to get from him the longest hours, at the lowest wages, at the fastest pace of production.

The success of neoliberalism is the result of betrayal of the Social Democratic and Stalinist leaderships and failure to lead a successful revolutionary fight against capitalism. Instead these leaders either directly cooperated with the ruling classes or sought detente and peaceful co existence with Imperialism. Only Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution would continue down a socialist road.

@danielcreatd872 Democratic Institutions are capitalist institutions. The working class needs its own political party a labor party. We need to realize and place no confidence in Democratic Institutions founded by the bosses. Destroying all confidence in the bosses regulatory agencies is a necessary part of workers taking political power.

@andrewshore262 Tony Blair was the "New Labour" Imperialist. He made the Labour Party into another capitalist imperialist Party like the American Democrats.
