What percentage of the income is going towards funding future socialism?
Because if it's not funding the revolution (peaceful or otherwise) why exactly would a leftist applaud these salaries?

You didn't read marx and the person above you clearly did.
Marx hated the bourgeoisie (business owners, including petite-bourgeoisie AKA small business owners) and loved the proletariat - including the extremely skilled or well paid proletarians.
Marx also hated the lumpen-proletariet - AKA prostitutes, homeless, etc.
One of my favourite Marx reminiscences is how his colleagues tried to buy him some IPR to provide for his wellbeing in later life: patent rights. Literally rent seeking on innovation. I'm not sure if it's in Emile Burns biography.
What I did or didn't read is alas occluded from you. The Masereel illustrated woodcuts on a recent edition of the manifesto are wonderful.
wait-wait-wait. So a SWE investing in VT is just a well-skilled proletarian owning a share of the global means of production? is this communism already?
