The global income distribution model (farmers in India -> Jeff Bezos) is problematic.
But it's such a chaotic system that anyone claiming to have the solution (similar to anyone claiming there is no problem) is likely lying.
The only solution (to me) that even starts to make sense is some sort of forced worker ownership, but lord knows what the details of that might look like.
- ada1981 4y agoWe know pretty well what forced worker ownership looks like. Hundreds of millions of people dead. Needs to be opt-in. The next wave of famous business people will likely be the Platform Coop-ists. Activists building unicorns not for the $$$ but for the Klout of taking on the status quo model.
- debacle 4y agoI'm not talking about socialism, I'm talking about worker coops.
- pmoriarty 4y agoThere's a difference between brutal totalitarian regimes in which an elite exercise absolute power over millions of people and actual ownership by workers themselves. It's the elites of those countries which owned everything and controlled everything. If you weren't part of the elite you had to follow orders.
