[668] Nogi: workers fight for nothing. No it does not make sense for the worker to fight for higher wages.
Marx says that in the best case scenario of wages being raised all that
would happen is that the worker gets a small decrease in the amount of
unpaid labor he has to do. Marx also says that by their very nature
wages require the worker to perform unpaid labor. It can go a couple of
different ways. The price of labor will keep rising as long as it
doesn't get in the way of the capitalist's accumulation. If wages rise
and it does interfere with accumulation, then the price of labor will
fall to meet with the capital's requirements for self-valorization. It
always appears that the capitalist will come out on top, so it is useless
for the worker to fight for higher wages. |
