      most people become millionaires in net worth through wage labor, I’m simply actually looking at this through a Marxist perspective, somthing rad libs who only care about leftist aesthetics apparently can’t do. you can only be a leftist if you are poor and not happy apparently. Fuck giving your family nice things

          Lmao believe me salary work is not what it's cracked up to be they get to work you to the bone for what amounts to less than minimum wage for the hours you work

          I’m not exactly following your slavery and wage labor distinction, I think wage labor works because it is now expected you receive benefits from your job in addition to wage. Plus using the term slavery labor makes ppl think it would be worse than wage labor, but you are using the term for the upper earners of laborers

          But yeah people in the west benefit from the imperial core, you can make the argument any leftist who owns a house here could be sending that money to poorer people in the global south, that any western leftist above poverty should send any excess income to others. This is where the every leftist who isn’t poor is actually a capitalist/taking advantage of ppl right wing talking point comes from.

          you are just wrong lol, most millionaires become that through wage labor. nurses, doctors, athletes, engineers, gasp content creators/actors, higher wage labor like that. Most are not business owners

            If they use their high wages to invest, buy and rent real estate, then yeah that can happen.

            Also... This may be true in the first world, but I wonder if this is true elsewhere?

              Probably not, and this has been well discussed by Lenin and other MLs in regards to the labor aristocracy and where they stand in relation to the proletariat and the top dawgs

              Neither we nor anyone else can calculate precisely what portion of the proletariat is following and will follow the social chauvinists and opportunists. This will be revealed only by the struggle, it will be definitely decided only by the socialist revolution.
