“If you ask me as a socialist what workers deserve, they deserve the value of what they produce.”
No. That’s NOT what socialism teaches. Socialism teaches they get what they NEED. “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need”.
So she, as your socialist demagogue/ruler/deity, will TELL you what you “deserve” based upon her infallible godlike judgement. And you will LIKE it, because the all-powerful STATE will accept no criticism.
Getting what you EARN is a free market principle.
Exactly right! And the workers can produce nothing if a risk taker does not invest his/her hard earned money to set up the means of production in the first place.
