There’s nothing here about hating others. The meme is talking about how the boss appropriates the value the worker produces under capitalism. The meme is criticizing the system of capitalist relations that produces millionaires and billionaires. These people don’t just magically appear out of thin air. They’re a product of the system. Educate yourself FFS.
Maybe you’re unable to read then. This meme says your boss is stealing from you. Most people really hate being stolen from. The manager at McDonald’s making 50k a year is not stealing from the cashier making 45k. You’re pitting the working class against each other and it’s not helping. You’re completely out of touch
That’s literally what’s happening, the boss appropriates the value that your labor produces, and then pays you a small portion of that in form of wages. Hope that helps clear things up for you.
Yes I understand Marxist theory. But quoting things written down almost a hundred years ago in a meme without context is like saying that homosexuality is wrong because it’s in the Old Testament of the Bible. It doesn’t make sense to most of the people reading the meme and it doesn’t help the situation. It just pits the working class against each other and makes progressivism look extreme when it’s not. Unless of course, you’re only doing this to feel superior to people by quoting Marx at them and then saying things like, “educate yourself FFS” so that you can feel like you’re better than others. Hopefully that’s not the case because you sound completely out of touch.
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.
Absolutely vicious straw man there. Great job boss. This meme does not do any of the things you claim it does and I’ve absolutely demonstrated what you just said I didn’t. You’re obtuse and completely out of touch.
I’m upset that this meme helps the ruling class by pitting the working class against each other. That’s it. Your meme does not say, “capital owners”, it says, “boss”. This is why I’m still questioning your reading comprehension because I’ve now explained this multiple times.
Anyways. Enjoy your day of posting memes that help the elites that wouldn’t exist if the working class wasn’t constantly fighting amongst ourselves. I’ve got to go organize with my coworkers, including my “boss”, who are all part of the labor class getting screwed by the elites that you are enabling.

Yogthos, are you so out of touch?
No, it is the sh.itjust.workers who are wrong.
🤣
