You act like there was never a guy named Karl Marx who proved this stuff, and debunked many myths about the economy, like 150+ years ago.
Marx proved nothing and debunkednothing , he’s not a scientist, he’s an ideologist and a creator of a cult.
It isn’t just a random thing like a superstition.
It is exactly that.
Wages are flat while production has skyrocketed the last 50 years, a little longer than I’ve been alive.
That means the balance of power hasn’t changed, or changed in the way that wages stayed flat.
There are causes that are very clear and some more hidden, but its no secret and hasn’t been for a pretty long time.
I disagree. Human societies are very complex, and economy is basically an open system. Any reductionist model, like that of Marx, will fail in most cases and kinda work in some.
Clearly you’ve never read Marx in any meaningful way, which is unfortunate. If you think Marx is a “reductionist model” then you are cleanly, plainly, completely mistaken. Das Capital isn’t a pamphlet, its 4 unfinished volumes.
Your anti intellectualism is a sad affair, but propaganda is a hell of a drug. I love being told by people who haven’t studied Marx what he is all about. Do you also have strong opinions on Augustine, Hegel, Kant or Descartes? Have you ever read them?
Balance of power
What power? The power of workers? You might have more Marxist ideas than you think.

You know, an adequate Marxist (I’ve met such, believe it or not) would not argue that it is a reductionist model (every model is, my point was that Marxists apply it universally without feedbacks, for which no model is good) and of course wouldn’t use amount of text as a measure of quality or correctness.

This text doesn’t make sense. I have a strong preference for Marcus Aurelius’ notes and Tao Te Ching over these, if you insist, but Descartes is fine too.

In this case the power of people with interests weighing more on the employer’s side or the worker’s side. I wouldn’t say it’s power of workers, just like wind filling ship’s sails is not ship’s power.
I don’t think anything is strange in intersections.
