@kylekgh This is not a collectivist sharing culture this is nothing but naked capitalist exploitation with a rotten Stalinist Party at the head. Socialism is workers control of industry not some Stalinist's bureaucrats jockeying for power to be the new capitalists in China.

Core value of capitalist exploitation. This was the practice of British capitalism back before the passage of the 10 hour day.

@berenisemendez5223 Its a matter of getting the most as the lowest cost since capitalism is a system of exploitation. China's government is no more communist than the man in the moon.

@alfawolf7125 The whole way the wage is determined is to pay only what is socially necessary to get the worker to come back and reproduce for the next pay period. Capitalism is just a new form of slavery. The bosses rent the slave instead of owning us. Capital produces nothing only labor does. Because while we are the real producers and they just the organizers of production for private profit. We can organize, take control and operate all of society for human needs without them. Without business secrets and ignorance of how capitalism works the capitalist exploiters can not remain in power.

@tl1539 Its nothing more than capitalism with a counterfeit communist party in charge.

@alfawolf7125 Capitalism also replaces labor with machines and works to drive down the general standard of living standard to shore up the declining rate of profit and that is something you can not combat by changing jobs to find work with a better boss and less exploitation. The unemployed are also used to hold down and lower wages. This is why the struggle with the capitalist is not just one worker with one employer or one group of workers with an employer but a struggle between classes.

@littlebox4328 Why would they? You can't fix greed. The top wants maximum profits and each sub level and sub area of management is incentivised to do just that.

@jonathanlane2579 Every past system of exploitation has come to an end no matter how cleverly organized. This happens because of the way the system is organized against the producers of wealth. Capitalism is just a new system of exploitation. Where the owners rent instead of owning the slave. The role the CCP plays as a facilitator of capitalist exploitation means its doomed just as the capitalist system itself is. The capitalist, seeking to profit against rivals, replaces labor with machines. This raises the capital value but since the origin of the profit is our labor with less labor in the product the aggregate profit goes down so these two tendencies result in a declining rate of industrial profit by which the capitalists measure success. They then launch assaults on labor to recover their profit rate. This is what drives the class struggle against them. The continuing business cycle crisis caused by the inability of the workers to buy back all that can be produced and the declining profit rate show that the system can only go into decline and fail. Once the workers understand this and organize a fight back then with a communist leadership that has absorbed all the lesson of the past class struggle capitalism is finished in the next revolution lead by proletarian internationalists. Its a matter of having a leadership like 1,000's of Lenin's, Fidel's and Trotsky's who can continually point a path for the class struggle forward. Creating this kind of leadership is what the communist movement is all about. TheMilitant.com

0 0 No the problem is using the accounting methods of capitalism that demand the creation of profit not the technology. What you really want to know in any economic activity in general is the labor time required. You also want to raise the whole cultural level of the working class since this will help in all the decision processes necessary. We workers need to be the makers of our own destiny. Its a matter of creating a whole new society based in human solidarity instead of the values of dog eat dog capitalism.

@Idontwannahandl Too bad you got deleted for making such Great Comment form an obvious thinking mind Professor T. I'm sure they got a place for you as a visiting Professor of Economics. at the local Sunday School. There you can spout gems like "Capitalism brings Democracy" "Greed is Good" "Capitalism is Self Regulating" "Capitalism Works" When your done you can make a compilation of quotes and call them the Quotes from the Chair of Professor T.

@Idontwannahandl You could be right Professor T since your such a well educated Professor of highest caliber. How many books a year do you send out titled "Thoughts of Professor T" the guide for Imperialist victory in Afghanistan.
