Excerpt from Gems of Socialism
That man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow is a scientific truth. The only other way is to beg it or steal it.
Under all systems of slavery, the slaves or workers first produced their own living and for that privilege must afterwards produce the masters.
The discrepancy between what the workers earn and what they get is where the class struggle begins.
The earth, under capitalism, is the landlords and the fullness thereof.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book builds a cohesive argument for the importance of understanding surplus value and the capitalist system it drives. The author traces the historical evolution of slavery in its various formsâ"chattel, serf, and wageâ"and illustrates how the surplus wealth generated by workers under each system has always accrued to a ruling class. Through an examination of the economic theories of great thinkers and historical events, the book unpacks the mechanisms of capitalist exploitation and demonstrates how its inherent inequality leads to societal problems. By dissecting concepts like rent, interest, and profit, the author reveals how the capitalist system inevitably concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, leaving the masses in poverty. The book's insights provide a roadmap for resisting the oppressive nature of capitalism and envisioning a more just and equitable society.
