The techlords told me when AI replaces my job I can just be on the beach with full pay.
And they're billionaires so they must be smart.

No. You're wrong.

I'm from Spain, we had fascism for 40 years. We had no public education for everyone, no free healthcare for everyone, no guaranteed employment, no right to unionize, no pensions, no guaranteed housing, university was only for the rich families, farm workers were exploited by the landowners, there was immense racism and ethnonationalism as state policy, and other cultures and languages (see Basque and Catalan) were forbidden and repressed.

Communism is literally antithetical to fascism, it provides universal free healthcare, universal pensions, guaranteed right to employment, guaranteed housing at affordable prices, universal free education to the highest level, respect for local cultures and languages, socialist internationalism as opposed to ethnonationalism, highest unionization rates, redistribution of the farmlands...

I suggest you read more on what fascism actually was, and what communism has historically actually been.

competition

That's a weird way to spell bombs.

What makes socialism less competitive?

In Germany, you're having a "Sitzung" which is the word for a conference meeting, but literally just means "sitting".
When you return to your desk, coworkers will ask if the "meeting" was productive.

Everyone who advocates for a "third way" always just ends up advocating for capitalism.

Railways were a thing when communism was developing during Marx's times and Lenin wrote extensively about railways. Their analysis is still very valid, and if anything, planning has become more feasible than 100 years ago thanks to computers. There are some modern proposals, but they are still very much based on socialism, since capitalism can only lead us to ruin.

The real choice is capitalism or democracy.

That's propaganda of the deed. Not all leftists are anarchists.

You criticize society, yet you live in it. Hypocrisy much? Chekmate liberal

Why is this highly upvoted? This is just a poor understanding of economics.

The market cap just shows the aggregate value of shares that are being publicly traded. It has nothing to do with labor value. You can't derive labor value from the market cap because there's no correlation. If you want to find out how much each employee contributes, you would have to use something like company revenue.

each employee provides $2.3 million worth of value

Market cap is just the value at which shares are sold on the market, not necessarily the actual value of the company. It implies a lot speculation for investors on how much they expect to gain from the ownership. The company equity/net worth is a more accurate indicator. What you're calculating is the accumulated value in time, not yearly.

If you want the ratio of generated value to wages paid, it's hard to accurately calculate with just public data, but you can approximate it so: in a given year, take the operating income and divide it by the number of employees. Operating income accounts for overhead expenses like SG&A (Sales General & Admin), which includes things that you can argue are useless (like wages for execs, middle management, and sales), but they also include admin costs like office rents, etc. Then you also have to find the average/median wage of a worker at the company, so the total is:

yearly value created by a worker = (operating income / n. of workers) + median wage

It's interesting to note how in all of these top companies, for every 1$ paid to workers, another ~1$ is transferred to capitalists through dividends and buybacks.

Company value is just the result of shareholders expectations for the future company value. It doesn't directly reflect the employees worth

this is interesting to me. can you show your work? Id be interested in going through the thought experiment as well.
