>it's hilarious americans complain about billionaires when 80% or so of you invest directly or indirectly (401k) in the stock market.
Maybe this is true but this doesnt cancel the fact that
1) people have to sell their labour power and create more value for the employer-capitalists than what theyre paid in salary
2) this value which takes the form of commodities, is sold by the capitalists without the direct producer (workers) consent or approval, thus he is alienated from his own work
3) commodity production, that is, production for the sake of production, grows larger than the market, leading to crisis of overproduction
4) machines, which shoould be emancipatory, are instead chains that enslave humanity
These are all characteristics of capitalism exploitation and they exists in america wether the public stock market exist or not
