I have been promoted in the past 4 months. I got a 10% pay rise too.
Forgetting the cause
No one "deserves" anything. Socialism is about the rational self-interest of the working class, not feel-good altruism.
Adequate compensation for my effort, time and profitability.
a just society
What do you mean time effort and profitability?
It's at your fingertips. You just need to reach for it. You will be exploited but that is business.
Ah, the cartoon world where we all have sparkly eyes and skip about the place singing.
A wage for the time, security dependent on my effort and praise for my profitability.
And I don't want to be, which is why I am a leftist. It is not like meaningful societal change is easy, after all.
Exploitation isn't really a bad thing. Tax is exploiting the circumstantial fact you live where you do. They will make more money than you do but that is just the way of the world.
