He did mention why U.S wage laborer earned relative higher, compared to their British and European counterparts, in Chapter 33 of Capital
We have seen that the expropriation of the mass of the people from the soil forms the basis of the capitalist mode of production. The essence of a free {settler} colony, on the contrary, consists in this — that the bulk of the {indigenous}soil is still public property, and every settler on it therefore can turn part of it into his private property and individual means of production, without hindering the later settlers in the same operation.[10] This is the secret both of the prosperity of the colonies and of their inveterate vice — opposition to the establishment of capital. “Where land is very cheap and all men are free, where every one who so pleases can easily obtain a piece of land for himself, not only is labour very dear, as respects the labourer’s share of the produce, but the difficulty is to obtain combined labour at any price.” [11]
In other words, in a world of Euro-Amerikan petty bourgeoisie settler proprietors, why be a wage laborer? Hence, to attract more wage laborers, a transitional above-average wage was put into place, by necessity.
Only when
the expropriation of the mass of the people from the soil
by growing Capital is in major process, will Capital thus reduce and later equalize the wage of wage laborers to what it is in Europe

deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.mlto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•Why are Thailand and Cambodia fighting each other?6·12 days agoIdk… if you asked me, Cambodia is not necessarily politically captured by U.S only…
you can argued its been captured by China, with its Belt and Road initiative, let alone not minding Cambodia imports 42% from China vs 35% export from U.S, in your video
In this case, I’d argue Cambodia is just as split as Thailand
And if you ask me to choose a side, I’d prefer Cambodia, to at least take partial control of the lands that allow them to go to Preah Vihear temple to solve the issue, albeit peacefully.
Thailand has enough territory already (plus, some of those are more ethnically related to Lao or Cambodian people)
