What I want is the workers (colectivly) to own the means of production, and then to get the entirety of the value of their labor. My issue is not with "extra money" as you put it, but that the capitalists have stolen the money from the backs of the workers. I also would not call any money extra money so long as even a single person is starving, or does not have clean water, or is without a home, or cannot get basic medical care, or any pther basic need. I think these are a little more important than movies
