No, to be clear equality in some respects can be a result of communism, but Marxism is first and foremost a analytical method, and communism is the result, to which communism seeks to abolish class

2018-10-23 18:06:55 UTC  

Why would Marxism/Communism abolish class? What is wrong with class?

2018-10-23 18:06:58 UTC  

I cna see abolishing class socially, as in the construct of class and the attitudes. However is this good? Is it possible to abolish class physically and materialistically. Is that right in any way? I can see the case for preventing radical materialism and accumulation of absurd wealth, however beyond that?

Personally I do think that money needs to flow, CEO's shouldn't be making say 1000X or 10k times more than the floor worker who can barely get by. This leads to economic issues in and of itself

2018-10-23 18:09:18 UTC  

You mean shouldn't be?

2018-10-23 18:09:42 UTC  

No. I am Right Wing obviously

2018-10-23 18:09:46 UTC  

And I want to be clear, class in this sense is not defined by the amount of money one makes, or whether or not a boss exists, bosses are not an issue

2018-10-23 18:10:02 UTC  

I meant the person above said

2018-10-23 18:10:23 UTC  

"CEO's should be making..."

2018-10-23 18:10:35 UTC  

But the context made it sound like they meant to say shouldn't

2018-10-23 18:10:56 UTC  

oh wait they shouldn't

2018-10-23 18:10:57 UTC  

my bad

2018-10-23 18:11:12 UTC  

Is cool, I gotcha dude

2018-10-23 18:11:29 UTC  

I think on this we have common ground

2018-10-23 18:11:46 UTC  

My issue is not people being richer, nor the existence of a boss, but the relationships to production

2018-10-23 18:12:17 UTC  

In some form or fashion working people should have democratic control of their work place and receive in full the value of their labour

2018-10-23 18:12:41 UTC  

That means no boss, lol.

2018-10-23 18:12:50 UTC  

You can elect a boss

2018-10-23 18:12:56 UTC  

Someone's job can be a manager

2018-10-23 18:13:15 UTC  

A boss who is accountable to the workers is ideal

2018-10-23 18:13:21 UTC  

But would you allow him to exercise his power even if he fails a majority test for a specified duration?

2018-10-23 18:13:42 UTC  

Likely he would be replaced

2018-10-23 18:13:59 UTC  

So, he is boss in name only, right? It is more like a direct democratic system

2018-10-23 18:14:06 UTC  

Management is obviously necessary

2018-10-23 18:14:16 UTC  

"in theory" "what it could be" "likely" "possibly"

2018-10-23 18:14:22 UTC  

Yes it is like a direct democratic system

2018-10-23 18:14:45 UTC  

So, no boss essentially. Because a boss could make no rules and do nothing without majority approval

2018-10-23 18:14:53 UTC  

communism leads to corruption

2018-10-23 18:15:00 UTC  

even tho thats the least of its problems

2018-10-23 18:15:13 UTC  

Well what is the role of a "boss" so to speak?

2018-10-23 18:15:26 UTC  

he makes the shots

2018-10-23 18:15:27 UTC  

Primarily in management and communication of departments

2018-10-23 18:15:36 UTC  

The role of boss is to act as an intermediary between the owners and the workers

2018-10-23 18:15:54 UTC  

I wouldn't say that

2018-10-23 18:16:10 UTC  

Perhaps in some respects this is also a character under the current system

2018-10-23 18:16:31 UTC  

But managerial work is obviously necessary, is it not?

2018-10-23 18:16:31 UTC  

It is just that. If management says that you have to work for one more hour, it would make owner happy, but workers unhappy

2018-10-23 18:16:49 UTC  

it boggles my mind someone can like something that is horrible, and failed everytime and only brought death and misery and was proven to fail every single time

2018-10-23 18:16:53 UTC  

Yes, as things exist today

2018-10-23 18:17:27 UTC  

Well let's look at co-operatives

2018-10-23 18:17:31 UTC  

These exist today
