Exactly, but that’s what you’re arguing for because you’re assuming the crew weren’t fairly compensated for their contributions. No one bought tickets to see a back up dancer, they’d have shown up if she sat at a piano and played all night, see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden

Money was earned due to the labor of creating art. Other performers were compensated equivalent to their contribution and even received bonuses. You’re just assuming that those discussions didn’t happen, but all reports from the employees I’ve seen indicate you’re just mad at a successful woman.

How much should she have paid then? If she exploited all of these, very happy workers, mind you, how much would be not exploitative? If everyone got paid equally across the board?

And here we are at the framer getting 50% of the painting again. No one went to a concert for back up singers, or dancers, or sound engineers, their labor was fairly compensated but you think that a successful laborer is the enemy because they’re successful and they compensate themselves fairly too.

Do you understand that a service could be sold daily on a regular schedule and that would look a lot like employment to you? Can you imagine how artists and performers view work like this? Have you ever even lived as an artist?

So when she paid all of the crew more than they’d make anywhere, with bonuses and benefits, where was the exploitation? Point to it. Because you’re arguing the framer is exploited
comment in response to
post
It’s the same thing. A back up dancer is a person who provides a service that accentuates the art the artist is selling. So explain to me in a clear and articulable manner how she’s exploiting people. Because I think you’re high on vocabulary and rhetoric, but shit for application of philosophy.

So an artist who pays for a painting to be framed because they do not frame or stretch canvas, should pay the framer 50% of the cost the painting sells for or its exploitation?

I did, you confused “employees receiving the highest value of their wages beyond what they contribute,” with “exploitation” because not everyone was paid the same and the artist who did the lions share of labor received the lions share of work. I replied, you just ignored it.

Then share a screen shot of where you did. Because all I read was you complaining that someone else was profiting from their labor and not giving you any which is a pretty capitalist position to hold from someone with your name.

Seem to Confused those two words, I’ll let you try to explain how you would have rather she did this. How could she have not exploited all of these people who she paid top dollar for their skills from their perspective industries (since you still haven’t explained how she did this might help.)
comment in response to

So you would rather she have not toured and not paid all those workers and not donated to all those food banks and not given to charities and hospitals where she toured in the interest of fairness? Is that it? Because you seem to have confused exploitation and fair employment. Since you

It is when you’re the one insisting no one else knows the vocabulary and then you refuse to explain how or why they’re wrong and just keep saying “you need to read Marx” after I already explained i had. So explain to me how she could have not exploited people since none of you can tell how she did.
comment in response to
post
Twice you’ve said that without providing evidence or explanation, just “read Marx” which is just an appeal to authority and a logical fallacy. So explain how it is exploitation or admit you’re unable to and this is based on your feels.
comment in response to
post
I have. You think being paid fair wages means an equal split when you didn’t do 1% of the work, don’t you? You think being exploited means someone else makes more money? This is why people don’t take communist seriously. If a laborer is successful then suddenly they’re the enemy.
comment in response to
post
It’s her labor that sold the tickets, she’s paying workers fairly for their contributions, but as the writer and performer, it is her labor that is selling tickets. You think being successful is a problem?

I read your point and provided a rebuttal which offers framing. Your response is to tell me to fuck off? Really? Great look.

The creation and performance of art is her labor. The tour is because of her labor. Between salary and bonuses she has paid better than most and she has still put in the most labor. Success isn’t bad. Those people have jobs because of her labor. No exploitation here.

When you calculate the bonuses (197 million to crew and performers) anyone who spent any significant period of time on the eras tour likely grossed six figures a year.

Is everyone that give you inconvenient, objective reads on you and your behavior a troll? Because that’s just avoiding critical thinking like a maga who loves blue and the letter d, or pretends to be a communist. You can go. We’re done here. You needn’t respond, you’ve not said anything in a while.

You have no interest but you keep replying without a point besides to declare how uninterested you are, no rebuttal just personal attacks without evidence. I agree we shouldn’t have billionaires. But tax policy isn’t in question here. It’s your attack on a laborer for owning their labor. You can go

I own who I am, I don’t pretend to be something I’m not using komrade and a royal title as a screen name while pretending to be a communist and attacking a worker for being more successful than you. Talk about tone deaf and lacking insight.
comment in response to
post
No, I’m arguing with you because you’re attacking an artist who is a laborer creating their job. You’re confusing success with politics and talking out your ass.

“I’m not going to continue a conversation when I got shown not to know the meanings of words I used.” Sure, you sound like a highschool communist whose ideology is based on a Wikipedia article about Marxism. Support workers, support labor, always.

She’s not using her wealth to exert power or influence over workers in order to exploit their labor for her profit, and in fact pays better than anyone else in the industry. You’re confusing success for plutocracy which makes sense, if you don’t know what the word means.
comment in response to
post
You should be happy when a worker retains the value of their labor, and doubly so when they end the exploitation of if. If you think her profiting from her work is wrong, you should drop the Komrade. If you think she’s taking from you, you’re just another capitalist looking for handouts
