Speaking of eat the rich, I'd like a rich market. A market for the rich we can transfer the wealth from and impoverish them.

Whole Foods already exists. But of course it's owned by Bezos so it only transfers wealth from the rich to the super rich.

How is this a microblog meme? Can we please not turn this community into unnuanced political opinions?

If you want peace and safety, you need to participate in society. That means paying taxes and voting in elections. Too many people only did the paying taxes bit, and now our society's fucked.

While I agree that wages, employee treatment and benefits stand to be much better, Im having trouble understanding the argument. At the end of the day someone needs to do work to get anything

The alternative is to abolish the employer-employee relationship and have everyone be either individually or jointly self-employed as in a democratic worker coop. On top of that, since land and natural resources are not the fruits of anyone's labor, there is no fruits of labor based claim to it. As a result, land and natural resources can be subject to collective ownership arrangements with revenue from this collective ownership as a UBI

The alternative is everyone grows their own food, builds their own houses, makes their own clothes, gathers firewood, yadda yadda.

You certainly wouldn't have the Internet in such a paradise.

That said, with all that we now have, 4 6 hour work days should be the norm.

It's about the question who owns the product that labor produced (along with land).

Why can someone be the owner of a production line?
