This just means capitalist domination is complete, no need to put effort in if there’s like 1200000000000000 pointdexter Redditor Libertarian Guys with Asian Wives to unquestionably lap up these arguments and spit them back at you
lol I’m still arguing with this dipshit because I’m drunk and I can’t help myself. The whole thread is amazing. It might even be some of my best work.
It started with this guy complaining that they weren’t also talking about Netflix producing imperialist propaganda. Just classic stupidpol shit.
It devolved into them trying to call service workers part of the labor aristocracy.
:sicko-yes: i spoke too soon that western leftism hasn’t embraced russian :brainworms: arguing about service work
Russian brainworms?
It’s more like a child/boomer conception by fixating in the word produce. Many farmers or masons might think a waitress doesn’t “produce” anything, and so belittle that job. They are working, Bob, you need them, don’t be an idiot.
Sure, we as a society don’t need some positions and jobs, say caviar sommelier, NFT curator, megayatchs builders, etc but that’s another discussion.
well you see, first we must differentiate between use-value and exchange-value. We find that exchange-value is an expressesion of value, which is socially-necessary labour-time.
Just as every commodity must be a use-value in order to have exchange-value, so too must a service have a use-value in order to be commodified and sold. In this case the service worker produces value in their socially-necessary work which produces a use-value for the buyer. The buyer, in consuming the use-value of this service, pays the price, which is an expression of the exchange-value of the service.
Our capitalist has paid the worker the value of their labour-time for the day, and the worker has provided services of a certain value which is higher than the value of their own labour time. The capitalist keeps the additional money paid, thus realising the surplus value in the service production.
When you wash dishes at a restaurant, on a night that has more customers you will wash more dishes than usual, but get paid the same amount of money.
Isn’t this the basic idea, since the time is already bought and paid for, its in the interest of a capitalist to get as much as they can from the worker in that hour of work. It’s been happening in America a lot recently, cuz workers are quitting jobs and the ones left behind are worked harder.
Do you pay more for coffee that you make at home or coffee you buy at a coffee shop?
