SK Hynix workers are not capitalists either but payouts of $460,000-$477,000 per worker is not working class wage either.

Right, no one is happy to have to fight for a bigger share of the pot and still be shorted. Of course I'll take $460K, but you'd be very stupid to credit capitalism for it...

You mean like South Korea where their poster child of anti-capitalism is North Korea, right across the border?

I don't know what point you're making.

you’d be very serious to credit capitalism for it…

There is a difference between the claim that the workers aren't pro capitalism when they make a good payout, alleging that I'm referring to the workers as capitalists, and me allegedly crediting capitalism itself.

I don’t know what point you’re making.

Yes, it is obvious that there is a group of people here deeply entrenched in the anglo-centristic world view of a 14 y/o kid who cannot fathom the concept of the average South Koran having a different view of capitalism than them, in light of South Korans having North Korea right across the border.

What are you saying?

Workers wouldn't be grateful for getting a "good" payout if they had the option to control the means of production and had the whole pot. They are grateful to have it within the confines of capitalism, if you're saying they're grateful for capitalism then you are crediting capitalism.

It is obvious that you think Koreans aren't capable of thinking past surface level. Me see worst of North Korea, me grateful for capitalism. Good God.

I'm not.

I do not.

Then kindly mash the letters on your keyboard randomly, perhaps it'll form more words to explain what you're trying to say than your previous attempts, because I'm honestly not clear on what points you're attempting to make...
