The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labor.
Ok, so I know the pitfalls of capitalism and such. You mention that under socialism, the resources and labor would be democratized. Can you explain that in more detail? Its a little difficult to for me to understand how society would say own the labor of service employees or the food grown on the farms.
Xexizy here does a great job condensing a lot of information on the differences between capitalist and socialist organization in a few minutes. There’s certainly room for different societies arriving at different conclusions and setups, but this video gives a broad overview of what a post-capitalist democracy could entail. The key here is that we’re trying to abolish top-down ownership and management of the utilities we need to survive, and economic democracy in various forms has been the proposed antidote since the mid-1800s.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
