    these dorks are a trip

    workers rights are anti-capitalist in that it restricts the liberty of the owner of the means of production... so yes, as it is anti-liberty of the owner it is anti-capitalist. However, an economy not captured by the government and the people who buy politicians means that you are also free to leave and there will be a maximal competition for your labor.

    so maximal competition for buying politicians is not to be mentioned I guess ... so close yet so far

        as we know, the demand for labor is solely determined by government regulation, not by any real economic conditions or cycles.

        the competition for your labor thing should immediately fall flat with just a basic understanding of ratios

        there are way, way more workers than there are capitalists, so the advantage is in the capitalist's favor. They have hundreds of workers to choose from at any moment. I can only choose like 4 or 5 different businesses to work for because I'm limited by where I live, what my qualifications are, and what I wanna do with my life. Capitalist just needs to wave a paycheck in the air and people line up.

      Literally just the same argument as the Gilded Age liberals, its a very common sentiment these days
