    This is what happens when mfkers don’t read any Marx.

    American capitalism would be doing way better at profit maximizing if people in positions of power across the private sector had studied Marxian economics. Giving away your means of production as a software business would be an obvious no-no.

      This is the shit that always blows my mind, to be honest.

      You want to maximize profits? Train your workers, put them through school, invest in your workforce.

      All the companies that just hire bodies and forget the most important part that sets a human apart from the rest of the animal kingdom astonish me. You get more value per person if you work towards increasing each person’s value instead of increasing the value of persons.
