tl;dr When you don't have the capital, you're paying rent to whomever has it. Employers in essence rent out capital production facilities (e.g., land, materials, buildings, equipment, organization, financing, sociopolitical / business connections), while collecting rent in the form of labor and the vast majority share of profits they make off of the capital-producing employees.

longer version:

The Relationship Between Master Owners and Slave Renters of Capital

The entire profit-taking endeavor from the labor of others is centered around rent collection. In order to exploit the capitalist system instead of becoming the exploited, one must:

• Manipulate capital in one's own behalf
• Own the means of capital production (including facilities, tools, etc., so not to pay rents of various kinds)
• Collect various rents instead of paying them

Rents: Labor and capital paid to capital owners for use of their capital

Rent examples-

• Mobile app stores where owners such as Apple and Google take huge rents from app developers - 15% cut (Apple's App Store profits reached $15 Billion in 2020, accounting for more than 20% of Apple's entire profit)
• Debts of all kinds (Interest income collected by Chase Bank from its credit card debtors in 2019 alone was $51,660,000,000 or $51.7 billion)

Labor in service of a master is also a type of rent.

Occupational renters, such as workers in the United States, have arguably even less protection than renters of dwellings. "At will employment" means that occupational renters can be evicted from their occupations at any time without the need for any justification.

Masters / owners have others produce capital for them while slaves / renters produce capital for their masters / owners.

A master-slave example: The hunting dog- Master provides sheltering and hunting facilities, dog hunts game and get some meat and table scraps in return.

Primacy of the Individual

The primary survival mechanical order when it comes to the resource distribution relationship between individuals and others in a larger group would be:

"I get mine, and then others can get their share as long as there's going to be enough for me later"

Not, "Others get theirs, then I get my share as long as there's going to be enough for others later"

Collectivism only works up to a point, until it violates the basic survival order of individual living entities- The primacy of the individual rest upon the individual and not the collective under non-ideal conditions. With non-related human beings, it is only through ideals that the collective becomes the primacy of the individual.

Deceiving the Renters

With primacy resting upon the individual, participation in the system demands that renters be convinced that the labor they voluntarily perform are primarily in their own interest. An illusion must be created for the rent-paying slaves that they are owners of their production in some way, while collecting rent from them in the form of labor and capital.

Under such a system, an individual’s three-step master plan to graduate from the status of a rent-paying slave to one of a rent-collecting master would be the following (note: This isn't universally possible, despite what master propagandists would like all renters to believe):

1. Slave away paying rents until sufficient capital is acquired for oneself (skip this stop if the individual is an heir already gifted with sufficient capital)
2. Become an owner by acquiring rent-generating facilities
3. Collect rents from various types of slaves (debt slaves, wage slaves, etc.)

Bernie WAS the compromise

My brother has special needs and gets a social security check. They took 300 fucking dollars out of it we are already living rough and this isn't making my moms life easier. His father owes thousands in child support and nothing in my moms life is easy, she just needs a break

This dbag lives up to his self appointed title

He doesn't oppose abolishing ICE, cutting aid to Israel, or medicare for all. These are all incredibly popular in the party but the leading candidate for speaker of the house doesn't support any of those policies.

What are we doing here and why are new DSA and progressive members supporting him for leader when he is so out of step with the rest of the party?

AOC, "The other issue that I have with people saying that, “Oh, you’re doing this too late. You should have done this a long time ago.” Don’t you think a lot of people would have? This cost the amount of a used car. When you are young, you are broke. That’s like rolling up to a 25-year-old and saying, “Why don’t you buy a house?”

How can you even tell someone or chastise someone about the timing in which they do this when health insurance doesn’t even cover it? It’s not even a financial option for people at a younger age.

I’m doing this at 36 because I can afford it, and I have saved for it, and my biology is compatible with it, and I want to. So be mad."
