>>709715057

Basically this is how it breaks down

The reason there's any discrepancy between the overall wages of men and women is because by and large men work more hours, more overtime, take less holidays, less sick days and retire later in life.

Obviously there are some chicks who work harder than men and what have you, but for the most part that's why.

>>709715370
Yeah, so the 70 cents thing is bullshit. But when you DO account for all that (and get to the actual "equal work" part), the wage gap for white women is like 93 cents to the dollar or something like that.

still exists, but smaller than is often stated

>>709716231
No, sorry to say but you're flat out wrong.

It can't "subconsciously" happen. Accountants fill out the paperwork. Payroll is viewed many times throughout the year, nothing happens subconsciously.

Same with what you're saying on race. Employers don't even consider names when looking at resumes, if one graduated from Harvard and the other from community college, Mr. Harvard is getting hired whether or not he's black white or purple.

I like the saying "business doesn't care about any colour except green". It's true.
>>
>>709716613
except studies show that name discrimintation is literally a thing that happens

also an accountant isn't going to find a smoking gun when men and women are paid differently. In any individual case, it's not really possible to prove that the two employees are equally valuable. There are a lot of factors at play.

But over large sample sizes, the trend of women being paid less is apparent.

I mean the burden of proof is on you, if you want to end this discussion just provide sources for these "studies" you're citing.

What you're saying on discrimination is laughably false though, affirmative action and diversity hires are absolutely revered in modern society. Any form of real discrimination would easily be found by rejected applicants and a witch hunt would ensue.

As for the women, let's assume what you said is true. I seriously doubt it is, but for the sake of argument let's assume. Do you really think they're being paid less JUST because they're women? Or could it be that women in a whole don't perform as well in their jobs as men?

Because people think this nullifies capitalism as an ideology. Corporations serve a function in society just as small businesses, but they are unashamedly vilified and scapegoated.

your view of socialism comes from the modern, disconnected notion of independence and self-centeredness. You'll frame socialism as lazy people getting carried along by hard workers, when really, it's about keeping the wealth in the hands of the people.

Capitalism structures wealth and power into hierarchies, and the executives in control of wealth (business owners, CEOs, etc) are incentivized to keep undue wealth, generated by the workers and laborers of the country

In short, capitalism will never pay labor what it's worth, because doing so generates no surplus profit, which capitalists need to hoard to be successful.

What you're thinking of is probably state socialism, where the state controls the wealth and arbitrarily redistributes it "evenly." Most of the socialists I know are more libertarian or market socialists. It's about the workers owning the means of production and the wealth generated by those means. Workers share solidarity, and when the vast majority of people (workers) create the wealth that drives the economy, they should own that wealth also.
>>
>>709722348
In most capitalists societies ''marketable skills'' are learned in schools or other formation centers where formation comes at a high price that many people who do not have a strong economical background cannot acces. Also even if they could get formation with a lot of savings ''Marketable skills'' change in nature all the time due to the unstable nature of the market so they could waste all of their money on a formation that will become useless in 3 years.

Capitalism structures wealth to benefit risk takers and innovators. McDonalds was a small local restaurant at one point. Apple was in Jobs' garage. Facebook was a university project. If you take the risk and make the money, you deserve it. If you want to whine about wealth being in the hands of the rich, realize what made them rich in the first place. Risk taking.

And my god I fucking hate all this semantics with socialists and communists all having their own special definition for their ideology. But sure, let's talk about workers owning the means of production.

What right do they have to it, exactly? Did they build it? Let's assume they did than, do they decide what to produce? Who and what do they produce it for? Is an extensive trade network required across the country? Communities obviously wouldn't be able to be self-sufficient, so how are decisions made? A board of directors? Does everyone have an equal say, despite having unequal experience, intelligence, work ethic, etc...

Your ideology has too many flaws to explain.

The owner's, creators, and investors bring valuable things to the table to be sure. I'm not disputing that.

>>709723798
This is probably the weakest point of your ideology, yet it's the focal point.

Did the workers take the risk? Did the construction workers who built the restaurant invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into building it?

No. They performed the function, they got paid accordingly, and moved on. What rights do the employees have to the property created by another?

What you have is a bunch of people born rich, who now own the ongoing wealth generated by labor, and you're going to defend their right to take it all because "they took the risk" investing in this enterprise.

In reality, many of the people that take these risks, are taking on less risk than a working-class laboror who's one workplace injury away from homelessness.
>>
>>709724004
The propriety was not created by another. merchandises in factories are created by the employees. Sure the owner bought the brute materials but everything that is sold is created by employees and they have a right on it. Also, if we follow the logic that we cant have a right on something we did not created. We have no rights as we created nothing. We do not create the raw materials we use in facotries and we do not create ideas. we just assemble toughts a an other order. Plus, why would taking a ''risk'' allow you own the work of thousands of people.

Putting things in "quotations" doesn't make your argument right.

If you eliminate all the entrepreneurs from a society you cut the average IQ by probably 10 points. There are people who have ideas, and seize the opportunity. These people now employ millions of people because they had the idea, and took the risk.

And let me say, I'm not one of these people. I'll gladly perform my little function until the day I die, I've got marketable skills and I'm content. If you handed me, or the average worker control over a business empire, I would run it into the ground within days. Not everybody is created equally.

yes. And capitalism lets successful people blame working-class people without those same skills, absolving their conscience when those people are starving.

A worker in a factory makes his boss many times what he's paid. And yet his job is shit, benefits are shit, pay is shit. There's nothing right about that scenario. There is certainly wealth represented by the people that created the factory to begin with. But the workers created the ongoing wealth generated therein. For the owners to dictate what they should take home is problematic, because of course they want to pay them as little as possible. And people who need a job to not starve aren't capable of adequately negotiating for themselves.

Yes but the owner pays them. You're operating under the assumption that all factories everywhere are shit. It's just not true.

The owner still has to pay maintenance, still has to pay wages, still gives the workers money that will put food on their tables. You act as though anybody making a profit is a bad thing. Why is it so bad that someone makes more money than another?

It is on the worker to pull himself out of his condition. If he isn't happy with the pay he can find another job. No one is tying him down, no one is forcing him to do it, it's voluntary. If the worker isn't worth what he's paid, he gets fired. If he's worth more, he'll find a job that pays what he's worth.

pretty sure microsoft and apple weren't conceived because the kids wanted the money. Pretty sure creative people strive to innovate naturally

Also you're assuming socialism = everyone gets the same redistributed paycheck from the state. That's a narrow, strawman definition of socialism. There are plenty of socialist ideologies that have clear economic benefits to innovation. They just aren't "I alone get to hoard all this money on this successful enterprise I lucked out on"
>>
>>709725742

I think the argument here is why after wages / maintenance / consumables / whatever, should the owner of the means of productions make disproportionately more than the people that actually allow them to make the profit?
>>
>>709725941
I've argued multiple times throughout the thread about an-com or whatever bullshit semantics you want to say, just read through.

And sure, some creative people do so without any other motive, however the incentive of money makes the competition to do so more fierce.
>>
>>709725742
The problem is executives have the power to make more money than they deserve, and pay people less than they deserve. I'm not against profit entirely. But there's a conflict of interest, and money is going to people who by definition, didn't create it. Because you're overvaluing initial investments, initial conceptions of ideas, etc. Those are worthwhile. But they aren't worth all the profits of the business indefinitely.

>>709725762
That isn't true in practice. If the worker needs the job to eat and pay rent, he'll keep it. In many lower-paying jobs, if he asks for a raise, they'll replace him with someone less uppity and more desperate. It's the same reason companies outsource labor to other countries where it's cheap as fuck. They're profiting off of human desperation, off of people that will jump at the chance to earn barely enough to eat, because it's slightly better than starving.
>>
>>709726049
Because it is his business. He started it, he had the idea, he seized the opportunity. He then employs and pays thousands of people, all of whom perform functions which serves the purpose of the factory. THEY ARE PAID ACCORDINGLY.

Contrarily, why should an employee who works in the assembly line have any right to the property of another?
>>
>>709725762
Except for the fact things are now changing from small individual businesses to large multi national conglomerates where the vast majority of stores and businesses are all owned by two or three parent companies, so even if you leave because you're not happy you're going to be working for the same people regardless.
>>
>>709726354
Without the entrepreneur there would not even be a means of production for the worker to seize. Do you understand yet? The profits are generated BECAUSE OF the entrepreneur, without him the workers wouldn't even have jobs.

>>709726404
>THEY ARE PAID ACCORDINGLY.

They aren't. If you have X factory workers that generate products you sell for Y, and after wages, maintenance and other expenses the company has Z in profit, what is Z?

You'll probably say it's the dividends of the startup risks, or the abstract, creative investment of starting the enterprise. But how much should that really be? should you really pocket the vast difference between what your workers generate and what you deign to pay them just because you had the opportunity to start this business 15 years ago?

The socialist says that Z is the rightful wealth owned by the workers.

and without the workers the entrepreneur would be a trust fund kid playing golf with his dad wishing he could start a business.

Owner needs workers and workers need owner. That mutualistic relationship is not a justification for the owner indefinitely claiming the lion's share of the wealth that the workers generate in his business.

>>
>>709726730
Without the entrepreneur there would be no means of production. Unless you want the state to build the factories, it's left to the entrepreneur.

The entrepreneur orchestrates the entire operation, hires the entire staff, makes the entire thing function. What right then does the common employee have to suddenly seize it all?

Your argument on profits is essentially; why is there wealth inequality. Because not all jobs pay the same. The worker has every opportunity in the world to work hard and start his own factory, however not everybody is made for that. Not everybody is created equally.
>>
>>709723437
There is a demand across this world for certain goods. And we have a bunch or people. And a bunch of people need a bunch of jobs. A bunch of jobs run by a bunch of people making a bunch of stuff that a bunch of other people want.
Your argument can be countered.
>>
>>709726921
You seem to have some unresolved issues towards rich folks. You're making this entire argument assuming that all of them are spoiled snobs who were given everything in life.

Zuckerberg, Jobs, Gates, Musk, you name it. None of them were trust fund kids.

You're assuming the relationship between employee and employer is equal. The common worker is not the same as the common entrepreneur.
>>
>>709727204
Either you believe that some of those people are inherently incapable of achieving that higher status or you're admitting that because some people wanna be rich as fuck everyone else has to accept a much lower quality of life.

Either way it's a fucked up selfish argument. In this framework, many many people are going to be at "the bottom" because they just don't have the intelligence or whatever, or because the opportunities weren't there, etc. The idea that people "deserve" wealth being used to justify capitalism is just a handy way to blame poor people for being poor.
>>
>>709727268
So you're making decisions based on profit? You're arguing basic capitalist principles, supply and demand.

So are all these profits shared equally than? Who directed the whole operation? Do they make as much as the one who packaged the product?

Not everybody puts the same amount of work in.

I'm exaggerating because people in here are deifying "risk takers" when many of the entrepreneurs come from wealth and privilege such that the risk they were taking wasn't even as existential as the stresses that working class people deal with on a monthly basis.

entrepreneurs and workers aren't equal. But what we're dealing with here is a system the ends up with CEOs making 500x more than their workers. It ends up so grossly unequal that it's not even funny.

And people end up justifying a capitalist investor taking 20% of the profits because without his investment it wouldn't be there, but all he did was move some money around X years ago and has gotten an exponential return on investment, sponsored by the underpaid labor of the business' employees.

Again, being an entrepreneur isn't as simple as moving money around. You need an idea, you need a spot in the market, and you need the capital necessary to realize your goal.

I fully agree that there is a problem with CEO greed, however the solution to that is obviously not to drastically redistribute it to employees.

Political Scientist chiming in.

This test is kind of sort of poorly worded. To be honest it looks like someone reverse engineered profiles of typical Conservatives and typical Liberals and assigned point values to their responses for what they find important.

That's no way to make a truly accurate political affiliation test.

For instance comparing the Businessman and the Manufacturer to the Artist and the Writer, while it is a general question determining if you find more value and import with the people who "run" or "manage" the economy. And that works to a degree, but it's not asking how you feel about the economy it's just implying that you either support business or you're an unemployed starbucks barista/liberal hippy.

It's a pretty flawed test in a lot of ways so don't take it too much to heart, you may feel you've aligned pretty well with your answers, as was my case, but I wouldn't put this up as the "end all be all" political affiliation tests.
