Or we can take the means of production and hold them in common for the workers? Automation would be the added benefit of not having to slog through 50+ hour work weeks.
- mikestew 10y agoToo bad the U. S. has had almost a hundred years to drill into us that anything even slightly along what you mention is to be met with an immediate reaction: "that sounds a lot like COMMUNISM!". At which point common protocol dictates that the discussion is now over.
