      Stealing from a thief is still a crime.

      BTW, if they’re a thief, report/sue them. Or are they just “thief” because of an ad hoc moral system you made up to justify anything you do?

        Wage theft is one of the least acted upon crimes. This system is immoral, and the people who run it are immoral. Thinking you will get any justice except for what you take for yourself is naive and wrong.

        This system isn’t designed for us, its literally designed for the people its named after… Capitalists. Taking anything you can back from them is perfectly fine.

          I grew up in a communist country, and we had a saying “if you don’t steal from your employer, you’re stealing from your family”. And people acted accordingly.

          You would love that! Or perhaps not, it actually sucked for everybody.

        Imagine thinking capitalists deserve anything other than being kicked to the curb. Workers do everything, the sooner we control things the better.

        Yeah, that’s exactly what they said… can you refute that surplus value is extracted through exploitation of labour forces? No? Didn’t think so. Much easier to insult and deride, and pretend that was a meaningful or valuable argument, than to actually make one.

          Maybe you should have gotton some qualification or had a better work ethic and you wouldn’t be stacking boxes at Amazon.
