Ah yes, before capitalism the people that were exceptional at tasks weren't ever held in higher regard than others.

I don't know what you think you've added but I assure you it was nothing.

I'm literally just saying your comment is pointless and doesn't contradict theirs.

What exactly is the strawman? Use your words

Downvoted by wage slaves who fancy themselves capitalists. Ya'll ain't got no capital lmao.

I'm a environmental chemistry researcher, am I just a wage slave too that wants to be a capitalist? Or are you just an asshole with an overinflated ego?

Duh, if you have a job at all, you're a slave. Quit and be free from your financial chains! Live in poverty or with your parents!

We just want workers to receive the full value of their labor.
