If your politician can't even pretend to want to burn this disgusting system to the fucking ground, then I can't even pretend to support them 🔥🔥🏴🏴🏴🏴☠️🏴☠️
I don't want to burn it down. Burning it down will paint the streets in blood,and it won't be restricted to those you hate. You'll all lose.
I want a few simple changes, but set in stone.
All this is based on that nobody has some right to be rich and capitalism, if controlled well, is the best way to generate wealth in general.
Nobody is allowed to have an average yearly net worth of more than X (say, 10 million, just as an example)
Companies cannot be larger than X in net worth , and Y employees, say 1 billion dollar and 1000 employees, as exampls.
I think with those two you have rock hard limits on power.
Let CEOs be abusive, there will be loads more companies and his won't survive. Also, now that companies no longer have the power they do now, we can put laws in place that are good for the employees and the lower income and the minorities.
You want to own a company? That's fine but it's networth is part of your networth. You might not be able to own more than just that company.
Any networth going over the limit goes to 100 tax until you are at the limit.
The government gets a huge amount of money through taxes that now can be spent on a huge social system. Free healthcare, free housing, free public transportation, free food even or even universal basic income.
Everything can stay as it is, just those three rules should terraform the earh
Good because there's lots of capitalists working in the background that I'm not personally aware of. And I'm 1000% willing to shoot "friends" and "family" in the fucking face if they put their bodies on the line for the capitalist class. And frankly I'm cool if I end up lined up against the wall and shot in the fucking face by my hypothetical former comrades because at least I could go to my grave in the comfort that the people finally stood up for themselves.
Wow never heard this one before, sure it's gonna be spicy and interesting /s
Bad solution. The problem is inequality in power itself, not the number to which we assign buying power.
Companies should own nothing and have no rights. Corporate personhood is stupid. Corporations should not exist at all. Privately owned companies should not exist. And while I am inclined to support small organizations over large ones, I do believe that big organizations can exist, i.e. I don't think that the number of people in a group is necessarily a good indicator of a group's power. (For example, compare the size of the Democratic Party (or Republicans) to their power.)
No it's not lol. The people who do the work should control the company.
Yeah I don't trust the State to do anything other than enforce the will of the ultra-rich upon the working class. Obviously I'd rather the government do these things than they not happen at all, but I'm not gonna pretend like we scored anything other than temporary breadcrumbs whenever we get concessions from the government in favor of social justice.
Please I beg you: dream bigger. Free healthcare, free housing, free public transportation, free food, universal basic income...these things have already been tried in other countries. It's not even the bare minimum. It's not even close.
Burning capitalism to the ground is the bare fucking minimum. I'm not supporting your politician until they're cool with burning the system to the fucking ground. Besides burning the system to the ground, your politician had better be helping the community build prefigurative alternatives to the State and capitalism.
Dream on, because you'll be waiting to your last day on that shit.
