Every Hour You Work Is Stolen

EVERY SAY ON 460 WHILE CAPITALIST 100,000 V-BUCKS CLAIM

A fast-paced split-screen video pairs Subway Surfers gameplay with absurd Skibidi Toilet imagery, factory scenes, V-Bucks, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and a stern-looking man. An English narration explains Marx’s theory of surplus value: workers produce more value than they receive in wages, while the capitalist keeps the difference. The exaggerated visuals and frantic game footage turn an educational explanation about exploitation into surreal internet humor.

Every hour you work you are being stolen from. But how? Karl Marx explained this in his theory of surplus value. Let's say you work eight hours per day in the scibity toilet factory. In these eight hours you produce 100 scibity toilets, which then go on to be sold for 10 V-bucks each on the market. But you are only paid five V-bucks per hour for your labor. Less than the value you produce for Quandale. While you made 40 V-Bucks, Kwan-Dale makes 460 V-Bucks. The V-Bucks that are produced by you but are taken from you is called surplus value while the V-Bucks you earn is a wage. To put it scabidly, surplus value is the appropriation of unpaid labor. The capitalist buys the labor power at its full value as a commodity on the market, yet extracts more value from it than paid for.
