Marxists: inflation isn't caused by increase in wages that drive up demand, its caused by companies conspiring to increase prices. This was proven 125 years ago in Value, Price and Profit...

Non-Marxists: god can't you ideologues just stop repeating the same outdated theories? There's no conspiracy, class isn't real

Inflation: happens

Workers: I think there's a conspiracy to raise the prices of things because wages went up

Corporate and government overlords: no, you see increase of wages creates increase in demand of goods which increases prices, I went to Yale

Workers: i just got a raise and yet I can't afford to eat anymore
