    Yeah, I mean that’s the whole excess labor value theory of Marxist thought, right?

    It’s not just outright wage theft - it’s that your labor is being used to create additional value above what you’re paid and that is what’s making the borgeousie rich. Obviously this is dumbed down to a sentence and this isn’t me disagreeing just adding add’l context for other readers.

    We definitely get screwed so so sooo many ways on the whole of it by the 1% capitalist class.
