Dialectical Idealist
[W]e must recognize, and loudly proclaim, that everyone, whatever his grade in the old society, whether strong or weak, capable or incapable, has, before everything, the right to live, and that society is bound to share among all, without exception, the means of existence it has at its disposal.

Thnx, I’ve added the text to the post
My tentative position is that working within the electoral system will only legitimize that system and delay the realization of the untenability of capitalism. I don’t see how we can agitate for revolution while simultaneously running for office.
But, full transparency, I haven’t read much on this question and I’m open to references you (or anyone else) might have.
Capitalists profit from the surplus value our labor produces by selling commodities to the very workers who produced them. What a scam.
You are technically correct, in the literal sense that managers and executives have work to do.
It should be noted, however, that it is the workers (not the company owners/investors) that create all the products that are up for sale and the infrastructure necessary to begin production (e.g., roads, bridges, electricity, education, etc.). Hence, when a CEO say that they “built” the company, they are obfuscating the exploitation of the labor of workers who transform raw materials into all the useful commodities we enjoy.
