CMV: Socialists have a conflict of interest to admit that capitalists make more money treating workers with dignity, respect and compassion.

Marx said that capitalism is inherently exploitative of workers and that capitalists that want to make a profit will want to give their workers as little as possible so as to improve their profit margins.

In reality though, we see that the more you give to the workers and the better you treat them, the more profit you make (either in money, time or human relationships), obviously up to the point where the resources you invest in your HR supercede your profits.

I think with COVID we've seen this even clearer. Workers just do not want to work for corporations that try to convince them that working 9-5 and commuting and taking shit from over-entitled employers for 40 years is the DREAM. People just do not want to work for these corporations any more.

So here's my point: **On one hand socialists are pro-worker so naturally they'd want to acknowledge and support this notion. On the other hand, if they admit that in capitalism the better you treat a worker, the more profit you make then they have to admit that capitalism isn't just ethically viable but also that Marx's predictions and analysis of capitalism is just wrong. In extension, Marx's view of class struggles and how the high class and the lower class have inherent clash of interest is absolutely wrong.**

BONUS point: I think we've taken a turn in society where working your fucking ass off extensively just so you can become a CEO that is hated by everyone because you treat your workers like shit is not cool anymore, it's just cringe.

I mean, it's not a conflict of interest because reality doesn't reflect what you are claiming as "fact". The problem is that capitalists DON'T spend that money to get more profits. Walmart, Amazon, fast food restaurants, etc. They all pay their employees minimum wage and let them rely on government welfare to live while they give the "higher-ups" and investors most of the profits.

If capitalism was openly having all jobs paid more, livable wages and it was pretty much seen across the board, then the capitalists would have a better point. But apparently the "fact" that paying people more and treating them better gets more profit hasn't convinced many corporations to do so.
