The two class cycles
workers cycle:
Commodity(labor) -> Money -> Commodity(food, housing bills)
Capitalists cycle:
Money -> Commodity(means of production) -> Money(profit/surplus value)
At least that is the bit that kind of sticked to me and made me realized in the west you want to do the second cycle.
Earn money by selling labor, live life as a cheap ass for a while use savings to become a asshole landlord.
- jkhdigital 5y ago> use savings to become a asshole landlord Being an asshole is not a requirement for landlords, nor is it exclusive to them. Oppressed workers can be assholes too!
- dragonelite 5y agoAn oppressed class has every right to be a asshole.
- WJW 5y agoTo their oppressors, perhaps. But if they are also assholes to everyone else then they are just assholes and the oppression has nothing to do with it.
- EveYoung 5y agoUnfortunately, the second option becomes more and more difficult for most people. With increasing costs of living, saving enough money for investments often times seems impossible.
