Let's imagine a factory worker. Works for 12 hours a day, from dusk till dawn, doing back breaking work which will probably shorten the length of his life. His life, after all, is miserable. He is miserable, his wife his miserable because he is never home, his kids are miserable because they are starving. And what does he get in return for this misery? A wage that can barely allow him to buy a bed, disease-ridden working conditions in which he'd be better off dead, and food limited to a slice of bread. But the evil bourgeoisie feeds off his misery. He lives in a palace and enjoys daily buffets, enjoys heavenly luxury, sleeps on a bed crafted from the limbs of the workers who sustain him.
This IS exploitation. It exploits not only the workers - it exploits the entire society. When capitalists pretend we do not understand economics, they should look in a mirror. Greater economic equality leads inevitably to greater economic growth, because of utility theory- the undisputed fact that if you give more money to poor/exploited people, they WILL spend it, but if you give more money to the RICH, they WON'T. As you capitalist pigs claim to understand "economics," you would understand the implications of this. By far the biggest contributor to economic growth/prosperity in any society is CONSUMPTION. IN YOUR SOCIETY THERE IS MINIMAL CONSUMPTION, BECAUSE ALL THE MONEY FLOWS TO THE RICH, AND THEY DO NOT SPEND IT ALL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO NEED!
/bant/ is coming to terms with these facts. I predict that in a few weeks you'll see it. You'll witness its complete transformation, in all its glory, into the anti-/pol/. The revolution is just beginning. Seize the means of production, comrades!
