I guess the implication is that "surplus value extracted from your labor" is a worse theft than taxes, but this is predicated on the (inaccurate) idea that the average laborer has the ability and skills to realize that surplus value without selling it to an 'entrepeneur' (business owner). The fact is, most laborers do not have the time, inclination, or skill to maintain the business relationships or market the good or service produced by their labor in such a way as to realize the hypothetical surplus value that is 'extracted' from it by somebody else who is good at those things and takes the risk to make it all happen.
This is a chart made by people who have never operated their own business and who would surely fail if they tried.

Lol you massive queer, that yellow circle should be the biggest one, taxes would literally look like a cancerous mass of tumors on that picture if it wasnt tailored for left wing niggers.

Your "labor" that your boss receives geta taxed by the state, your actual pay gets taxed, the things you buy get taxed, the things the buisness buys to sell or keep running gets taxed, your bosses profit gets taxed, the things your boss buys gets taxed, the people that pay for your goods or services get taxed on them, literally every circle in that picture is backwards retard. Taxes make the most money in that picture, then you make the next most money from your paycheck, and then your boss makes 5-10-20% of that total value in surplus aka profit.

Straight from the wikipedia page:

At Mondragon, there are agreed-upon wage ratios between executive work and field or factory work which earns a minimum wage. These ratios range from 3:1 to 9:1 in different cooperatives and average 5:1. That is, the general manager of an average Mondragon cooperative earns no more than 5 times as much as the theoretical minimum wage paid in their cooperative.

Compared to similar jobs at local industries, Mondragon managers' wages are considerably lower (as some companies pay their best paid managers hundreds of times more than the lowest-paid employee of the company) and equivalent for middle management, technical and professional levels.

These low wages make it very difficult to recruit managers from investor-owned firms"

not the biggest one, but in my country total tax burden is close to 65%. (meanwhile the widely touted income tax is 15%, used to be 18%)

how is this possible you ask?

well your total cost gets a reduction that the employer pays 20%, so you got 0.8 as your "wage" to begin with.

then you pay your 15% and 10% and 8.5% a total of 33.5%, you are at 0.53 at this point.

there are various smaller taxes and fees adding up to an additional 1-2% coming with owning things and using infrastructure (yeah... the irony) and then your 0.5 aka 50% gets an other big hit a 27% vat when you try to spend it and the poor have no choice but to spend their income. so 36.5% left of your income. and this is me being generous but whatever.

it's crazy, but remember only 15% income tax folks! living the dream!

Completely nonsensical and inaccurate. Whoever created that infographic is defending big government and high taxes. The assumptions made are that "surplus value" is always guaranteed to be much larger than employee compensation, that revenue/expenses are fixed, and value produced by your labor is fixed, which is often not the case. "Surplus value" depends on how much money the business is making and value of your labor depends only on how much your employers value you. If you're easily replaceable, then you don't have much value.

Taxes generally only take into account of your income and nothing else. The infographic implies that the current taxing system is correct and just while employee compensation is wrong. If I always get taxed 30%, that means businesses would be held to a higher standard and will have make a certain amount of money to ensure that they can pay livable wages to their employees while the government, with guaranteed income from taxes, can do anything they want, inefficiently or ineffectively, without any consequences, and still continue to exist. Small businesses would have difficulty existing, which would leave only large businesses existing and eventually monopolies. A dystopian nightmare.

>> No.15949089

CEO's:. They are way overpaid, not because shareholders are stupid. Shareholders hire high paid CEOs because they want them to be focused on maximizing profits while fucking the working class below them. If you remove the shareholders from the equation the CEOs would be sitting on billions in profits and would distribute that among the workforce.
But CEOs in a capitalist system are there to make money for the shareholder fully at the expense of the worker.
It's a dumb system and any system that would generate a fair wage for the worker and a reasonably solid compensation for the managers and executives would make better products and services with less turnover and a better quality workforce

A question that hasn't come up yet and should in any conversation like this follows from this anons point.

>>15948226

> commies dont understand that none of the value produced by workers would exist without the capital provided by the capitalist

Before questioning whether or not this statement is entirely true lets ask a different question. It is a reality that capitalists have capital, that is clearly visible to everyone here. So where did they get it? Is their capital justly obtained? Asking this specific question causes the house of cards to tumble rapidly because in the vast majority of cases accumulated capital can be causally traced to conquest and theft. The monarchy was not rich because god ordained it, it was rich because it stole that wealth from the serfs through feudalism. Europe and America got rich by stealing wealth through conquest and colonial extraction just as China is today. That wealth never truly shifted hands back into the commons after the "fall of feudalism."

The monarchs of old became the business oligarchs of tomorrow and democratic revolutions during the fall of empire never truly succeeded. With this in mind it is on those grounds regardless of if one believes in market or command economies that the capital of the capitalists is illegitimate. They never respected private, personal or common property and still don't. To defend their system is traitorous and to reform it is madness. The only path forward is revolt.

You don't understand. The conditions even allowing him to gain that capital only exist because of prior conquest and his fathers immigration to an imperial center. As in, America is rich and some upward mobility exists within America but only because America as a whole exploited property rights and abused generations of people.

Nodoby is extracting surplus value from labor. THe worker offers it for sale, the Entrepreneur offers to buy it. They set a price they both agree on.

If you think I'm just talking about extraction 10 generations ago you're missing the point. The imperial core exports crisis in return for labor value from the colonies of the imperium. For a microcosm example of how this works observe apartheid in South Africa. The whole world is in apartheid it's just not as easily observed.

I draw the line at mutual benefit or wealth that an individual can create on their own. For example, a craftsmen working his own land and generating his own value is just. Wage labour isn't inherently unjust, it's just that modern circumstances have poisoned the well so much that most capital is tainted as are its products and the way it creates them. I'd offer an alternative history in response to the second part of your question. Human history from my observation isn't a history of people exploiting one another but rather a history of us learning through brutal error how to cooperate better. The long historical trend is pro cooperation and mutual reciprocation not exploitation.

Our species started its existence as small family groupings. Overtime those groupings learned they could accomplish more by merging into tribes, and again those tribes learned they could accomplish more by federating into states. We are living through the growing pains of those same states learning that they would be much better off together than apart.

To clarify what I mean by reciprocity before someone tries to claim I'm advocating absolute pacifism (i'm not.) Mutual aid is simple to work with to the mutual benefit of both parties any party who is willing to work with you while also being hostile towards any party that attempts to exploit you. Since those who do cooperate are stronger together than those who don't they will eventually win out in natural selection and on a long historical timescale do.

> So are you going to tell all the people immigrating to America that they're literally stealing?

That's not what I said. I said that the conditions that allow an immigrant to get rich only exist in the imperial core. Immigrating in its own right does not guarantee economic mobility.

> You said the capital of capitalists is illegitimate and that you deserve to revolt. (and steal all their money?) Or are you going to leave the people that didn't gain their wealth from violence alone... oh wait but Bezos's dad commited violence by immigrating from Cuba so he's fair game.

I said revolt is the way forward not that I specifically deserve to. I did say that the capital of capitalists is illegitimate that doesn't mean that all capital ever in all points of history used by every person is. As for pointing fingers that's not what I'm doing. I'm pointing out the conditions themselves and that they are unjust because moving class conflict forward (something the rich do a good job of on their own I'll add) is the only way to move us beyond our modern conditions. So yes, that means Bezos is suspect as long as he holds vast wealth. Jeff Bezos's dad isn't until he gains vast wealth. The act of immigrating alone doesn't guarantee economic prosperity.

Yes, because chattel slavery is the only form of slavery and the roaring 20s didn't happen directly after. Read Nick land, you'd like him because he appeals to your fetishisation of exogamy and talks about fascism without being retarded.

You don't understand, save up to start a business is easy if it's a fucking kebab stand with a couple workers. To own a real business you have to raise VC money and they rob you blind. To make a big company you have to take multiple rounds of VC money and you lose controlling ownership at the $20-30M level.
Just because some Boomer 30 years ago could do it doesn't mean you can now. The American dream most people grew up with is gone. It's a plutocracy at this point, you only win if you are selected to win. Even then you only partially win because whoever let you takes their pound of flesh.
Anyone who thinks free market capitalism works is a fucking idiot or doesn't want to admit they inherited their money and don't want anyone getting a fair shot in a world they know they aren't equipped to compete in.

Alright lads, it's been fun but I've got to go. If nothing else read some theory from your political opposition it's one of the best ways to learn and challenge yourselves. And don't read the theory people on your side of the political spectrum think the other side reads, actually go ask them and read what they read.

The problem is you are looking at it through a viewpoint of your labor in terms of your paycheck and the direct taxes of that paycheck only, and that is what this picture does as well except then we have the argument of surplus labor, a very ethereal and washy label that necessitates us to include your total value throughout your job. So taxes are not more then 100% of paycheck, the entirely circle represents value added directly by your labor, taxes would take the largest area of that value up, then your direct pay from that value, and then your surplus profit that goes to your owner last and smallest.

Really this picture would be best represented as a pie graph, but that would necessitate actual data to be added to these labels which would kill the artists talking points since the numbers to make this chart a reality would kill the premesis. This picture is just low quality communist propoganda really.

Also according to this image surplus value is GREATER than income. This would imply that for every 50k a wagie makes, there is MORE than an additional 50k siphoned off by the rich. This is preposterous, we'd be surrounded by trillionaires. What is more likely is that your labour is worth 50k and 5% of that goes into the pockets of your overlords, who by the nature of large scale economies, become billionaires.
