I am not striving for absolute equality, however, Capitalism has turned people weak because of automation.
i dont even disagree im just not sure how youd conclude that equality is a good thing from that
We produce more than we need, which lead Marx to a point of "redistributing the wealth"
@Blueroad You should read Marx's work regarding Capitalism and Das Kapital
i know ltv lol
i dont see how ltv makes any case for equality
its just an account for phenomenon in capitalism
The thing is that the meme "absolute equality" came from a Marx's vision of a society where wealth is distributed amongst population. He actually thought of this as both good and bad idea, since people, even when they would get the goods, would become more weak than they are right now.
However, Capitalism would inevitably lead to that, since now more and more people are working "bullshit" jobs.
i never said anything about absolute equality im just trying to understand why equality is desirable
communist scum!
Equality matters at this very point because the Bourgeoisie (the rich class who doesn't work shit) is earning more than most workers. Bourgeoisie isn't necessarily "all rich people" since proletarian can be rich and poor. If communism is based on human nature as many marxist put it, why do we need a government to tell us what to do?
Semper Fi
you just said equality is good because society is unequal
There is healthy and unhealthy inequality though
thats not answering the question
It does, let me explain.
the question was why is equality desirable
Because Bourgeois is exploiting you, and they do not work for their earned money. They just own you, like a slave, except they can fire you and leave you with no job.
The only inequality that must exists is within the workers ability and need.
If the worker is fired it may very well be due to the competence of the worker not being fitting to the job
your saying equality is good because its good, you use a negative example(inequality)but thats really what it says
But I never said that absolute equality is good, I an saying here that unjustified inequality must be abolished, since Capitalism is very toxic and adaptable. Here, let me give you a question
Why do you think music today is bad?
i never mentioned absolute equality
i think music today is good
Its not, when something is mass produced, it is inevitable to lose quality. Just like with money.
thats your opinion
Its not really, it does hold a truth, unless you are degenerate who listens to trap everyday.
Do tell me why people think classical music is better than most modern shit?
Its simple, that music was created under no economic influence.
Capitalism creates Alienation from their Labour, the other workers etc
i dont care what other people think. i think things are only valuable in light of some subjectively held criteria so this means nothing to me
im just waiting for a reason to think equality is good
Freedom gives you alot of equal opportunities, and again, you imply that I want absolute equality, and your only argument is "lol no mentioning of that shit"
try to read between the lines
yeah, youre injecting absolute equality into my questioning when its not relevant at all
Equality is good because without it there’s nothing preventing you from getting the same fate that you supposedly don’t care other people getting
yeah thats fine
Unless youre okay with being brutally murdered
