Edit: For some ungodly reason, the algorithm has decided to start blowing this video up. I made this when I was like 15 and it was partially for a school project. Since then, I have further developed my ideas and I still firmly believe in Marxism, but I believe my articulation is much more clear nowadays.

I don't care to try and redo it or anything as I don't have an interest in making videos. A lot of the responses people have been putting in the comments can easily be found out by... reading Marx. The information is readily available, if you're a rational and intelligent actor, it stands to reason you might actually read beyond the Manifesto and maybe read Capital, or if you want a more compressed explanation: Intro to Marxian Economics by Ernst Mandel.

I believe SV aka profit is the reward the capitalist aka investor earns for taking the risk to own a business in the first place. The good news about the working class is that nowadays they can also own the means of production and earn the SV though an broadly diversified low cost index fund or ETF.

Hahaha "doing nothing.." I knew this was some clickbait simp ISH. Owner of the means of production did something that employee all of you. He had to have done something to bring in the means of production. Machinery, tools, fabric. He had to create work space that produces productivity such as a work bench, chair, lighting, electricity. He had to supply the building, insurance, utilities, maintenance. He had to develop logistics like payroll, workers comp, SDI, Insurance, book keeping. Making sure building is up to code. Permits, licensing, articles of incorporation. He had to have a legal team look over the work. Then he needs to hire a team that hires the staff. Process, background checks, drug tests, provide uniforms, safety equipment, emergency medical stations. Training for employees. All that is "nothing" to this kids. Hahaha yeah right. If it was nothing than go do it. I like to see when he starts a company he slaves over, borrowed money, loans, banks, missed out on hanging with friends, family celebrations, holidays. Then a kid comes up goes no that's not fair I want what you make you don't do anything. Hahaha. Are you gonna go yeah you're right, We'll split the surplus value evenly? NO YOU ARE NOT. YOU SHOULD NOT. AND YOU KNOW THAT SO STOP THE CAP. YIU EVER NOTICE IT'S THE LOSERS ALWAYS COMPLAINING AND WANTING SOCIALISM OR WHATEVER WOKE JOKE LEFTIST LOSER CUCKBOY PSUDEO SCIENCE AND REIMAGINED HISTORY FLAVOR OF THE WEEK? HAHAHA AND THAT'S NON NEGOTIABLE. #SOCIALISMHASNEVERBEENTRIED
