In a capitalist system, workers exchange their labor for wages, which they rely on to sustain themselves. However, under capitalism, workers find themselves in a situation where their wages do not reflect the true value they contribute through their labor. In other words, the compensation they receive is less than the actual value they create. The surplus value generated by the workers' labor, the value that exceeds their wages, is appropriated by the capitalist class as profit. This extraction of surplus value serves as a fundamental mechanism through which capitalists accumulate wealth and power. Therefore, the capitalist class are just leeches trying to suck the working class dry. They themselves do not contribute anything of value to the society, the same way former kings and lords did not contribute anything but misery.

<b>Class Struggle and Power Dynamics:</b> In a capitalist system, society is divided into two main classes: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie refers to the capitalist class, which consists of wealthy individuals who own and control the means of production, such as factories, land, and resources. Their primary motive is the pursuit of profit and the preservation of their wealth and influence. On the other hand, the proletariat refers to the working class, who must sell their labor to the bourgeoisie in order to earn a living and support themselves and their families.

The class struggle arises from the fundamental clash of interests between these two classes. The bourgeoisie seeks to maximize their profits by keeping wages low, minimizing costs, and exploiting the labor of the proletariat. They aim to maintain and increase their wealth and power at the expense of the working class. On the contrary, the proletariat, being dependent on selling their labor to survive, strive to improve their working conditions, secure higher wages, and claim a larger share of the value they create through their labor. This class struggle manifests in various forms, such as labor strikes, protests, and organized movements advocating for workers' rights.

The power dynamics between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat shape social relations within capitalist societies. The capitalist class possesses significant economic resources, influence, and control over key institutions, which they use to maintain their dominance and perpetuate their interests. This concentration of power often results in policies and systems that favor the capitalist class and contribute to wealth inequality and social divisions.

Libertarian socialism stands as a political and economic philosophy that offers an alternative to traditional capitalist and authoritarian socialist systems. Marxist analysis and truly democratic decision-making lie at its heart.

<b>Engaging with Existing Systems:</b> While challenging the existing systems, it is also important to engage with them strategically. This includes advocating for policy changes, holding elected officials accountable, and actively participating in existing democratic processes. Work towards reforms that align with libertarian socialist principles and contribute to the broader goal of systemic transformation.
