Under capitalism, an hourly wage has no meaning; you are paid to accomplish a task. The faster you do so, the more you make per hour, and vice-versa.
Ubder communism, effort is rewarded, rather than results. Provided you worked for 8 hours, you are paid according to some arcane rule specifying your hourly wage. Results don't matter, only how much time you spent, which is incompetently used as a heuristic for effort.
In this meme, the evil communist overlord is paying someone the communist way, which unfairly gives the overlord an undue share of the profits. The worker was a fool and worked as hard as capitalism would suggest, and is surprised and disappointed to be paid the communist rate.
