Workers Create Value
(lemmy.ml)
Force the meme, force it, force it.... FORCE IT, DAMMIT
TURN LEFT MF'ERS!
If anyone wants to read Marx and understand what people mean exactly when they say workers create value, but are intimidated by Capital, I recommend starting with Wage Labor and Capital It's a short, concise work by Marx specifically made for people without any background knowledge, unlike the Communist Manifesto.
remember that a company can do fine without a CEO. they can't earn shit without workers.
Remember: When you make fun of rednecks, you make fun of Dale.
I prefer hillbillies to rednecks. Rednecks have "back the blue" stickers while hillbillies take pot shots at any car with federal plates. Rednecks have lifted mall crawlers while hillbillies have an old busted Tacoma or Geo Metro. Rednecks have pets, hillbillies have raccoon and possum neighbors who hang out on their porch together.
You're only a hillbilly if you're from the Appalachia region of the US, otherwise you're just a sparkling redneck.
Originally rednecks were the hillbillies that wore red neckerchiefs at the battle of Blair mountain. They fought against Pinkertons who were hired by the coal mines to break up the rednecks who had taken over the company property.
That may have changed since the blue collar comedy tour, but originally rednecks were the works seizing the means of production.
Jsyk, looking up "etymology redneck" indicates the term comes from sunburn on the back of manual laborers' necks and was in use for a bout a century before. I am always glad to see the West Virginia coal mine wars brought up tho so kudos.
is there a difference between hillbillies and hill folk or is that just playing with words
And Dolly!
Dolly's a hick. Rebecca's the Redneck.
I'm not well versed enough in the various cousins of hillbillies to differentiate. /s
Who's Rebecca?
The Miley Cyrus to Dolly's Hannah Montana.
Raise hell. Praise Dale.
Very few workers want to own their means of production. They just want a paycheck for their labor.
Because very few workers possess class conciousness due to decades of capitalist propaganda.

I think it’s more like, imagine if all the shares of Amazon were confiscated from Bezos and his main henchmen and his original remaining backers, and then those shares were equally redistributed to Amazon employees and contractors. I don’t think the workers would disagree with that move.
Of course they wouldn't. They'd be making six figures overnight.
