Agitprop: Agitprop, derived from the Russian "Agitatsiya i Propaganda," refers to the practice of using cultural and artistic forms to promote a political ideology. It's characterized by its overt and often forceful messaging, aiming to influence public opinion and behavior.

The CEO pay issue is agitprop nonsense. It's purely political without proved mooring to worker interests. It's predicated on the same fallacy that more taxes will mean more appreciably more social benefits for the poor. Instead, the money gets routed everywhere else. The only metric that matters for workers is their own pay. You have no idea if higher CEO pay isn't linked to comparably higher worker pay, not less. No worker in their right mind would spite-lower CEO pay just to have their own be static or decline.
