I dig that 10 point program though

You can't have full employment under capitalism

because of the distribution of wealth/wages being low and or top heavy?

I'm tired af but still trying to process the concept rn

I feel limited because I have a mostly U.S. perspective, so the way I see s*** is just from one place... wish I had a broader perspective but that's where reading more and more comes in.

Read up on reserve army of labor

@Scratchin_Bandit @ARCADE_GOON pls correct me if I'm misusing the concept

I pulled up an article on it and read a little bit so far

monthlyreview.org/2004/04/01/disposable-workers-todays-reserve-army-of-labor

initially it seems like the fact that you can't hire too many workers or your "surplus" or profit or whatever u want to call it, decreases.

So capitalism inherently employs less people than it can, because of the greater amount of wealth desired by the capitalist?

The more unemployed, the more you can pressure workers into either accepting low wages or walking out, since there are many unemployed willing to accept s***ty wages just so they can have a job.

You're sayifg "there's 10 ppl who want ur job, accept your wage or ur out".

A couple percent unemployment is advantageous for the capitalists.

yeah and on that 10pt thing it includes giving a living wage for every job which clearly theres enough money to go around.

only problem is: it's not going around

Also another topic I'm curious about going forward is the capital of data and information selling/trading etc

I.e.: zuck, other social media companies, or otherwise

The leverage of having so much data on billions of people is frightening tbh,

and when it started happening in the way we see today, most people didn't realize it it was just: oooh cool computer updates, i get to customize my profile! and then its like they know everything about you your friends your family more than ever before

whoops

rights to your own data needs 2 be figured out cause we're literally the product at this point and thats f***ed

You're the one, Neo

Obama just doing COINTELPRO in front of everybody, single handily stopping a labor strike.

Helen Keller really went off

Forget the horseshoe theory, the circle theory is here

I hate dengists so much my god

PSL is a great party/organization, have been getting involved with them the past month.

Me and a few others with PSL are trying to organize a march in a few weeks.

happy birthday to the late great Fred Hampton. Woulda been 72 today. f*** J. Edgar Hoover i hope he's rotting in hell

For the simple fact alone that the average person spends a LARGE portion of their life at work, that makes ethical labor standards and policies and making a good environment all that more urgent

thats pretty obvious but it's so necessary to the argument

We speak of democracy yet spend most of our adult moments awake at a dictatorship with a boss commanding us around

Yeah that's one of the biggest perversions is calling everything "democracy" to excuse the flaws of everything attached to the brand of "democracy" being forced on people

its just an inaccurate and overused term that doesn't really reflect what's going on unless it's only useful as euphemism for Western interventionist behavior and capitalist apologists

"This patient is hopeless. He was diagnosed with a complete lack of dollars."
-Soviet Union, 1950s

The black cat could be meant to symbolize a bad omen, as could the laundry "hanging out to dry." However, the bucket is not meant to symbolize "kicking the bucket," as there is no such saying in Russian.

"Equality in the world of capital."
-Soviet Union, 1965

"World of capital" is most likely referring to the United States. The hand with less money was most likely made darker on purpose, to represent economic inequality between blacks and whites in the U.S.

lenin state and revolution

I need some better distractions from this capitalist hell
