Capitalist exploitation simply means the fact that after its commodification the price of your work force on the market is much lower than the value it produces.
Think about it this way: worker X in company Y is producing commodity Z (goods&services). But a wage's worth of commodity Z is created by worker X in only a few hours of labour. The value his work force is rented for by the capitalist is much smaller than the value it creates. The private person owning company Y (don't forget corporations are also legal private subjects) then
appropriates the surplus value created by the labourer.
Simply put: if a labourer creates the value of his wage in a very small amount of his labouring time, who then, is he in fact labouring for most of the time?
Not only does capitalist exploitation entail that most of the value that working people create will be appropriated from them, but also that their limited precious time on this planet will be appropriated from them.
Mark sold 100 fast food meals priced at $5 in 8 hours. In two days the total value he creates is $1000. Yet he has to work for a full month to receive a salary, a wage of $800. Because Mark in unaware of capitalist exploitation he believes he is reverencing a fair pay for his work when in fact he is labouring extensively for the profit of other people.

Capitalist pigs will not be granted entry to places which may be deemed as holy, sacred, or spiritual when the day of wrath comes. Those who suffered at the hands a punitive or dehumanized system will eventually have their day to bathe in the blood of liars and exploiters. Capitalist pigs will not be the ones who are dancing on that day. Deal with them in your own way until the true farmer comes as our gates which line neither wall nor cities. Meet up Irregardless of politics, income or education to determine how exactly we could sacrifice them before they decide to sell our organs after the real estate is all bought up well beyond gentrification. Since they will forever punish, enslave, rob us of our youth or dignity, no amount of compassion could save them. Sacrifice cannot save us from the capitalist pig, neither love, nor ideology or doctrine. We must harden ourselves if there is ever to be true justice. A true Capitalist Pig can hide under any country or political banner and may falsely believe that they are impervious and so portray serenity and an aura of peacefulness especially if they are arrogant. Arrogance is often the signal that their time will run out as it offends those who know the true state in which we live and how the ecosystem has suffered. With massive crop failures, global heating rises, or fuel purse strings relegated to those who can afford the means of production on larger toxic scales there will be no better time to accept what fate has given us.
Q: "What happened to that upstanding family?"
A: "Those Capitalist Pigs were sacrificed after they tried to run the damn town" "Surprised it didn't happen sooner (reaches for beer)."

"Son of a capitalist!"
A term for a rich business tycoon who only cares about making more money. He doesn't care if he puts smaller stores out of business, doesn't care about the poor or middle class, and doesn't care very much about the customer. His business will usually sell overpriced products made of cheap plastic, and the customer support will usually be outsourced if there's any customer support in the first place. Similar to the phrase "miser", or "cheapskate", but more applicable to people who not only horde money, but keep expanding their businesses even when they have more than enough money.
That capitalist pig took all the business. Soon we'll have to sell our shop and move away.
