A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

EDIT: What the fuck? Banned for "anticommunism"? You do you, but I am going to point out that there's no rule against being anticommunist. The other guy was abrasive and he didn't really understand Marxism and he technically broke rule 6 but those are hardly a reason to ban him without a warning.

And the boss gets the $20 because of their labor of working the company and managing it.

What labor? The two things you brought up?

Access to rhe TV

That's not labor. That's now part of the means of production because you're buying it so you could use it in your labor process.

Know who wants the TV had his boss not said “hey here is this TV, you need to deliver it to this adress”

So the boss hires someone whose job is to figure out who wants the TV and then that someone lets the delivery driver now. The boss pays them $2 for that labor. What does the boss do to get the $18?

Unless he was doing it on his own, in which case there is no boss to be involved here. I.E. owning your own business.

Again, gross misunderstading of Marxism. In a sense Marx wants us all to own our business. Hypothetically if you have a one man company who owns their own means of production and gets the full fruits of their labor, that's actually socialist.

Which I know tankies hate.

Look at you starting to name call. And then you wonder why people are antagonistic towards you.
