First of all, since one of my good friends is a Marxist, I can assure you they don't believe the capitalists will EVER do anything good, even when they do.
No, employers don't pay living wages. They prefer (and oftentimes do in the case of relatively unskilled labor, which seems to be the only kind around nowadays, hence the unskilled trying to make themselves look more skilled with things like plumbing degrees.) to pay a wage that you can live on if you devote all your time to work, and none to actually living.
And where did you get an argument coming from me that the private sector never provides food and water to anyone?
