Even if you discard the LTV (and a lot of modern Marxists do), the idea of extracted surplus value still survives. Your boss pays you less than what your boss gets from your work - or else they wouldn't have hired you in the first place. It doesn't matter where the value comes from, the workers don't get paid more than what they contribute - at least on average. (Unless you have a bullshit job or your company is a fraudulent scheme.)
Yeah. The way I like to think of it is that the boss is an unnecessary part of the process, so it is fundamentally in the collective self interest of the workers to remove the boss from the process.
Eh, the way that I think of it iis that management is essential. Resource management is as important as the resources themselves, it's the capital class siphoning this value that's to blame, not your typical management.
@NotARobot probably meant boss as in owner rather than mere manager. Strategy and tactics are still needed to direct production, the difference would be in who benefits from the control of production.
