The whole point of memes is to kick off discussion. Meanwhile, not sure how pointing out that bosses appropriate salary of the workers pits the workers against each other in your mind. You're making a really poor argument here and you just keep doubling down on it. You sound like you just like to argue for the sake of arguing to be honest. Seems like the only one who's commenting to feel superior to people here is you.

Ok you're the boss. Everything that Marx wrote still applies literally and managers and bosses don't contribute anything to production. Good thing your meme has kicked off such great discussion about how cashiers should see their managers as thieves.

Not sure what kind of privileged life you lead where you can just post memes all day but some of us have to actually live in this capitalist hellscape. We need the entire working class to rise up, not fight amongst each other because the "boss" who's making an extra 50 cents an hour is appropriating everyone's salary. You're out of touch.

This is absolutely hilarious. First you complain the meme is too simplistic, then when explained the context you complain that people are talking down to you. Nowhere have you provided any actual critique of what Marx says, or why you claim it doesn't apply today.

I'm again confused how pointing out that workers need to organize against capital owners is making us fight against each other. It seems that you're very confused and angry person who might want to go outside and touch some grass.

Yogthos, are you so out of touch?

No, it is the sh.itjust.workers who are wrong.
