Also maybe move whatever other goalposts you can find until the Marxist theory begins to make sense.

Also keep stubbornly clinging to the idea that organizing and coordinating workers is not real work.

It is, but it's not worth the massive sums some executives pay themselves.

Haha, imagine being the type of person who attacks anyone who criticizes ultra-high C-suite salaries by calling them a "Marxist".

How is it an attack? What would be a more accurate descriptor for someone who appears to subscribe to the idea of an oppressed class and an oppressor class?

This has nothing to do with class warfare. We're talking about individuals who make several orders of magnitude more money than regular employees, despite the impossibility of demonstrating that they add an equivalent amount of value to the organization. The idea isn't "everyone should make the same amount", the idea is that pay should be proportional to one's value add.

Lmao this is not marxism this is much much closer to falangism and Catholic Syndicalism. Also answering to your comment "How is it an attack? What would be a more accurate descriptor for someone who appears to subscribe to the idea of an oppressed class and an oppressor class?"

Nobody talked about that or said that they just asked to replicate the model in more industries, and seeing the sorry state of many products, that seems wise.

As someone that escaped a socialist country, I can and will have to ask you to take five minutes to enage with people comments instead of blindly barking.
