You can be sure that billionaire Stefan Soloviev will expect a return ON McCoy stadium
An American millionaire or billionaire may or may not be a very moral person within the parameters of his own socially conditioned conscience. Apart from Karl Marx's labor theory of value, there is an equally cogent criticism of capitalism generated wealth : it is right there in High School Physics . The law of Conservation of Energy says, in short, that you can't get something from nothing. The billionaire's exploitation of the working class is slyly hidden : does he not pay his so very happy employees a decent wage ? Still in no way does his own persona ( the smartest human brain can operate on household lightbulb wattage ) account for all that wealth. In the final analysis ,all human ENERGY -physical or mental - is measured in CALORIES. There is no record of any billionaire spontaneously combusting after a long hard day at the office.
A clinical thermometer should tell us what HIS wages should be. Or our own. SOCIETY will end up with much of that surplus value anyway. So you see, High School Physics is indeed subversive : it may lead to " crackpot " SOCIALIST ideas. Which Donald Trump wants banned in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
You can be sure that this Stefan Soloviev will expect a return ON McCoy Stadium . As Marx said, a capitalist is not a capitalist for the benefit of the working class.
