@ppng Your error here is to consider capital as a single monolithic interest. In fact the many holders of capital (contra Marx) do *not* act as a unified class; rather, each pursues his own profit without regard to the others. Consequently capitalists compete *with each other* for labour, driving up the price to the point where marginal cost equals marginal value. The only way they could 'exploit' workers is if they had monopsony power, which in general they don't.
@soundnfury @ppng Have you read Antòin Síddon's work? I think you would find it agrees with you on these points.
@cuttlefish Not heard of him, found nothing on Google. Can you provide a link?
@soundnfury go siddon a supply and demand curve jackass
@cuttlefish So, uh, are you trying to communicate, or are your toots purely performative? I want to assume good faith, but you're making that difficult.
