It's true that capitalists deserve to exploit workers?

I meant because the trope of the poors being ignorant racists was a bit too hard to believe someone would want to admit to.

"Yeah, that might work. But, here's the kicker. He voted for the same guy I did. The other candidate was promising tax reforms, enforcing anti-monopoly laws, etc. But, my guy got everyone scared about trans athletes and brown people crossing the border. My worker's a good guy, but he's super racist. As long as you're going after the brown people, that's what matters to him."

it suggests that (...) can be reformed.

it could. unfortunately the boss's dad owns the politicians making the law, so it won't be.

Only a complete revolution to collective worker ownership of the means of production can resolve the contradiction.

that's just delusional. if such thing happened, and every person in the world would get the same amount of money and means of production, it would only take time for those better at management/leadership to - again - have more than the others.

people are not equal. i am not taking position and claiming it is good/bad, but it is a fact, no matter how someone might not like it. and all this is not saying that the current system is not fucked up.
