I have an idea.  How about we create a huge Elite Government Class--'The Nomeklatura' as they were called in the former soviet union--and have everyone work on collectives to support them?

Oh, we already have a big Elite Government class with ordinary people giving up 20 to 50% of their income to support them (if you include state governments)

Looks like its working great. :smirk:

I think you missed the premise of the discussion.  That "a labor based economy will be largely nonexistent".

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Don't say we are taxes at them rates, the progressives will denounce you

We all know the answer to it, just tax those who still have jobs more, take a bit for the Washington elite, and disperse the rest among the unemployed, THIS is the only answer progressives will accept, therefore it is the correct one

eventually society will be forced to change, in the meantime things will just continue to get less comfortable for everyone without capital, so I suggest snatching whatever you can while you can just in case :paranoid:

There's no shortage of work.  Unemployment is back to normal and corporate profits are at all time record highs.

The problem is that corporations aren't sharing their profits with the people that earned it for them.

Did corporations all of a sudden get greedy?  NO. Corporations ALWAYS wanted one thing- PROFITS.

Workers' share of profits has been declining for a while now.

They didnt get greedier. They got Nixon and Reagan to bust unions, deregulate, cut taxes, and move jobs overseas. Then they made it the neoliberal norm, and got both parties to do it in no time.

The only one working to stop jobs from being outsourced is TRUMP, and we know who you're voting for, so why ya acting like you care?

Because Trump cant unilaterally shoot down a trade deal, and there are a lot more Democrats on the Hill that are against it than Republicans.


Plus SCOTUS. Plus "Berniecrats" trying to keep her honest.

Trump changes his mind every week and his supporters dont notice or care. Nobody has any idea how he'll govern.

So you want more of the same corporatism that's we've had for the last 40 years than risk anything different...

"Workers' share of profits has been declining for a while now...and move jobs overseas"

So why would anyone consider that "normal" employment compared to past years?

You missed the nuance of my response.  The only way that will happen is if we move to a collective society.  Because someone is going to have to do certain jobs.  So in fact there may not be much labor, but it won't be by choice.

And what labor there is will be set up to support the ruling class of Elites.

Nailed it.  I don't know how many times this has to be repeated until conservatives either refute these points or accept them.  It's getting old.
