I absolutely love your still very capitalist driven word choices and ideas. It really illustrates the depths the capitalist system influences. "Hey you're alive, but only deserve bare minimum treatment, an unreasonable amount of space and flavorless food paste! The good life is still only for those that aspire!"
Everyone deserves more, it's just that the whole things collapses if nobody does any of the things that make it happen. There needs to be a limit on those who are a "drain" on the system, and placing it at some sort of base-level dignity is a practical evil at least until such time where there is so much abundance it won't matter.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. If you want more than what you need, then it has to come from somewhere.
I'm sure there are better solutions if we assume we can dismantle and rebuild all of society any way we want, along with the attitudes of those who inhabit it, but I think it's worthwhile to consider how current systems could be improved
I'm not talking about my personal vision of utopia, I'm talking about the bare minimum of a society that can begin to be considered just, even in a very hollow sense
Capitalist Realism.
Correct, the good life is only for those that put in work.
Shit ain't free.
Except for people with generational wealth I guess huh?
You guess?
I was being facetious. Do you really not see that I was pointing out that your comment was wrong?
Narrator ~ "It wasn't."
What's your favorite flavor of boot?
Ariat Rebars.
I wear them tho, don't eat them.
They're for something called a "Job". Don't worry if you've never heard of it.
It's where you trade your skills and work for goods and services, or vouchers for goods and services in the form of money. What's your favorite flavour of Valenki?
How novel that you define worth through work. Some people just take the programming better than others. Just look at the US South; prideful slaves living in poverty working themselves to death.
I didn't define worth at all. [Edit: not the worth of a person anyway..] Are you stroking out due to lack of producing any work?
So your continued implication that I don't have a job therefore what I'm saying is irrelevant isn't a comment on my worth? Good to know.
Lol what you're saying is irrelevant because your of shallow understanding and your immediate implication that one [licks a boot] if they point out said shallow understanding.
