Surrounded by entrepreneurs in the 11th edition of Latam Economic Forum, Milei in addition to boring repeating himself, added a phrase to his catalog of attacks on workers. The president auto praised to say that salaried workers “buy money from their employer,” and then add: “I just destroy the exploitation theory.” Thus, being forced to work 8, 10 or up to 14 hours per day to survive, it would be just a pleasure to get pesos that the generous entrepreneur accepts for the pleasure of doing an act of good.
But for Milei it was not a sufficient provocation and decided to go further: “Just to raise the discussion in a different way, it makes the exploitation theory end, unless employers explode businessmen,” he said while the president laughed. For him it must be easy to imagine Paolo Rocca (Techint) or Alfredo Pagani (Arcor) suffering under the impositions of his workers, will it be while they sleep in his mansions or in his frequent vacation in luxury hotels?
Milei’s “theory” is nothing more than a lie to try to continue adjusting to the great majorities. Under their management, state workers have not freely opted for their employer for less pesos, on the contrary they fought continue to fight against the budget cut that includes tens of thousands of layoffs (who did not have any volunteers either).
If the salary arose from a free commercial contract between equal parties, trade workers should not have their lean parity suspended by the refusal of the Ministry of Labor to homologate the agreement between the union bureaucracy and the business chambers. The national government is putting a roof to the peers with the intention of lowering inflation and that the cost is paid by employees.
If there is something that did not arise from freedom, it is the difference between social classes. As Carlos Marx explains in “Capital” the bourgeoisie appropriated the means of production to blood and fire expropriating the peasants of their lands to force them to work in their companies. Capitalists need workers to obtain surplus value, the hours of work that steal workers paying salaries below the value produced by the workers. No entrepreneur hires a job unless he generates a profit and if he stops producing it dismisses it.
The workers are forced to deliver their time in exchange for a salary because no one chooses to die of hunger (although for Milei it is an option as valid as any other), but do not accept this condition passively and use the strike as a tool to face the exploitation. That is why the president denies that the exploitation exists, it comes from attacking fiercely the general strike of April 10 and the transport of May 6. Milei can say endless nonsense, but in the events he knows that behind the general strike is the possibility of a revolution to end with all exploitation and oppression.
