Isn't it also an even major weakness in socialism? After all, if your society is committed to providing a minimum standard of living for the elderly and disabled, that depends upon labor.
- danharaj 11y agoHow much labor do you think is needed to provide water, food, shelter, clothing, electricity, household machines (even a 3d printer), computation, and entertainment for everyone? The hours I put into a CRUD app last week are wasted labor as far as I'm concerned, but I need to pay rent to a landlord and the only people with money are people who want me to make them even more money.
- afarrell 11y agoWell, given that you have just described the vast majority of my household expenses, I would say a lot of labor goes into providing that. Also, you forgot healthcare.
- fludlight 11y agoThis is called the dependency ratio.
