the centralized, dominating power that your boss/the CEO/the capitalist, has over the laborers in the enterprise for the duration of their shifts mirrors the governments of facist dictators in their weaponization of state power to subvert political processes and maintain this fundamental 2 class caste system. the boss/capitalist literally takes all of the fruits of your labor, sells it at a markup, and breaks you off a crumb (a wage) for an hour of your time. if you speak out against this injustice or try to organize your workplace for better working conditions, capital and the state are there to make sure you stay in line. like the slave asked themselves every day in the morning "do i go in and do the master's bidding, or tell him i need a sick day and risk 50 lashes?" the employee every morning has to ask "do i go in and give this extremely wealthy capitalist with way more favorable life circumstances than me the product of 8+ entire hours of my labor in exchange for a minimum wage, or do i forgo my financial obligations this month and get evicted or lose my kids?" where is the liberty in this economic model of production? wage slavery is not good. more and more people are having to work longer hours to afford the basics for their families. the capitalists ship jobs to poorer nations to exploit their circumstances in the name of minimizing labor costs, further fueling the class divide in those nations. we are not happy with this arrangement and the way its deteriorating our qualities of life. meanwhile the capitalists are as wealthy as they have ever been since the years leading up to the great depression.

the national socialist workers party aka the nazi's were anti-communist af. these facist dictators, are no better examples of "Marxist/collectivist" ideals than the united states "Democratic" party is of "democratic" ideals as they habitually subvert democratic/political processes via the commodification of policy (lobbying of corporate backed interest groups/PACs etc) and the deployment of state power and capital for regime change in the rest of the world, particularly in Latin America/Caribbean nations.

we need to move to more localized models of production that prioritize decentralized control of surplus by the laborers vs centralization of power in a capitalist. whether thats a service that you need to get licensed to be able to provide or a collectively owned public intstruments like the public bank in north dakota, u.s. (which weathered the 07 08 recession admirably). we have businesses cooperatively owned and operated by prisoners in Puerto Rico. there is a coop bakery called Arizmendi in oakland california (look up who Arizmendi was) and a dope coop grocery called Rainbow in san francisco too. many successful examples of cooperatively operated enterprise ran by commies currently exist and have existed throughout the world. they are dwarfed, unfortunately, by the centralized, facist employers (the capitalists and the state who does their bidding) who "employ" the vast majority of the planet and been peeling back worke's' collective gains post WW2 and in the united states are literally coordinating a challenge to the constitutionality of the national labor board right now...is that unbelievable?

this is a critique of capitalism. not reflected in the original image you shared.
