>What is “surplus value”

Every time you work, your labor produces a commodity with a certain market value. Let’s say you create a fishing rods with your labor. It goes on the market for $1,000. It will be divided by this: The capitalist will get 800$ and you will be awarded 200$ for your labor. That 800$ that you did not get is surplus value.

The goal of syndicalism is to lower surplus value as much as possible so every worker gets the full product of his labor. If you were in a co-operative instead of a capitalist enterprise, you would get for example 800$, and the 200$ in surplus would go to the collective for equipment and stuff instead of a dirty capitalist. Of course, there will always need to be some surplus for the business, but 200$-800$ is a gigantic difference.

Good job.

This will get slid, but it’s the best advice you will find on /biz/

I've had several of my business school alums reach out and ask about co-ops as a method of company organization in the last few weeks. Shit is catching on and will likely be a trend if not a paradigm shift. Enjoy the warning.

Nothing prevent you from doing this in a free-market capitalism system.

If this is true then it means that it is more efficient, so this structure is what will be adopted in the majority of the case.

Either you then need to become a libertarian free-market guy, or your explanation is false.
In either case you are retarded
