Is my boss a communist?

    textbook socialism
    I think my boss might be a communist. So a while ago, I got my first paycheck at a fast food place. I guess it wasn't too bad, but I did the math and figured out that I sold a lot more food than I got paid for, even when you account for the price of the food. When I tried to talk to him about it, he said we're all part of one big team, but some people get paid more than others. This is suspiciously close to the famous quote: "some are more equal than others" from my favourite book, Animal Farm and is what got me thinking about this. We make money, and then he takes it and gives it to someone else who doesn't even work! I'm no economist, but this is textbook socialism. I think I've come to the conclusion that the best way for me to combat these socialistic businesses practices would be teaming up with my fellow workers unify out power and demonstrate that we understand the full value of our labour. Anyone else have similar experiences with obviously Marxists bosses before, or any other advice??
