Now! Now! Capitalists never have
seriously proposed that workers are superfluous. Capitalists
love workers! They even have "human resource" departments
and "time and motion study" engineers to optimize their employment.
Capitalists have only required that there always be *some* superfluous
workers (Marx's: "industrial reserve army") to help keep down the
wages of the rest.
I know the "labor theory of value" is totally discredited (by
what???), but, pray
tell, where else would capitalists get profits from if not from
the extraction of surplus value from a labor force to which they
blocked unmediated access to the means of production in order to
compel them to work for wages?
