They’re literally doing capitalism. M - C - M’ is described in the first part of Capital. This is money operating as capital. Buy a commodity for M, then sell it for M’ that is greater than M. You have no interest in the use value of the commodity. The only thing that matters is it’s exchange value.
Because they think if you just say it in the right way, bosses will be fair (i.e. get a degree and spend 15 years becoming the only gear capable of keeping the machine going, but don't strike just quietly ask your boss for more than what your coworkers are making).
This is the end stage when liberals very obviously want a caste society, they just don't want to be the ones saying it is or enforcing it's existence.
They're delusional and think it will just all work itself out, or the government will step in and C'mon Man the scalpers into playing "fair".
