But when this "shrinkage" goes on, it eliminates the protections of the working-class. In reality, to the bourgeoisie, it's an opportunity for investment.

2017-07-06 17:09:06 UTC  

Let's take my country for example, America.

2017-07-06 17:10:00 UTC  

We're currently trying to repeal Obamacare (a shitty system nonetheless) to free the healthcare market up, so people may invest. Democrats and Republicans have their own lobbyists and rich people they appeal to, and Obamacare represented another side of that bourgeois interest.

2017-07-06 17:10:05 UTC  

get what I mean?

2017-07-06 17:10:27 UTC  

The current system is fucked, we both agree

2017-07-06 17:10:45 UTC  

No fan of the neocons and neo libs

2017-07-06 17:11:11 UTC  

I would say you are more Libertarian, but the thing is, self-regulation with capitalism is unattainable. That's why we have regulations come about in the first place.

2017-07-06 17:11:16 UTC  

And we end up in the same cycle.

2017-07-06 17:11:39 UTC  

A lot of regulation is very positive for certain sectors though

2017-07-06 17:11:56 UTC  

If you agree those politicians are bought and paid for, they're not making it easier for new businesses

2017-07-06 17:12:05 UTC  

Take the high tax for private businesses for example

2017-07-06 17:12:12 UTC  

The new businesses of today are the big businesses of tomorrow.

2017-07-06 17:12:21 UTC  

The average joe pays for it, the big business simply put their stuff in panama

2017-07-06 17:13:13 UTC  

I agree. There is a gap between the small businessman and the big businessman, but the dynamic between what the worker may do and the employer can do in the present and future is still there.

2017-07-06 17:13:25 UTC  

I'm not arguing for a big government.

2017-07-06 17:13:45 UTC  

I don't want the state to nationalize everything, unless they have to when they're under attack.

2017-07-06 17:14:12 UTC  

I want worker's councils, unions, etc so the workers have a direct say in government and the economy. That's what socialism is about.

2017-07-06 17:14:32 UTC  

We can't have that without interfering with the Bourgeois' interest though.

2017-07-06 17:14:55 UTC  

That's an observable fact throughout history.

2017-07-06 17:15:25 UTC  

What happens when a new company comes up, and agrees that he owns the company, he'll run it without the counsels and manages to get big.

2017-07-06 17:15:32 UTC  

What happens to that guy in your society?

2017-07-06 17:16:07 UTC  

He wouldn't be allowed to run it without the council's democratic say in the first place.

2017-07-06 17:16:13 UTC  

It depends on the area, but in socialism

2017-07-06 17:16:22 UTC  

that kind of one man owns everything ownership does not exist.

2017-07-06 17:16:25 UTC  

Why not? It's his idea and he has people who consent to letting him keep it

2017-07-06 17:16:29 UTC  

Because it creates the inequality we talk about it.

2017-07-06 17:16:49 UTC  

You never said anything about people consenting to it.

2017-07-06 17:16:57 UTC  

The inequality now comes from that guy being taxed to high hell by government

2017-07-06 17:17:08 UTC  

It was implied, so they consent, what then?

2017-07-06 17:17:17 UTC  

Who does?

2017-07-06 17:18:07 UTC  

Why would the worker consent to a boss having more control over their lives, if the worker has control?

2017-07-06 17:18:45 UTC  

It's like asking why would the businessman not want workers to own the economy.

2017-07-06 17:19:15 UTC  

Believe me. some people don't want the hassle of counsels and all that, a company is able to find enough people who will do with a higher wage and a stabler job(they have to invest less)

2017-07-06 17:19:36 UTC  

I don't believe you.

2017-07-06 17:19:39 UTC  

What hassle is there?

2017-07-06 17:19:44 UTC  

It's not like it's mandatory.

2017-07-06 17:19:47 UTC  

That's why socialist countries crack down on people who want to do their own thing

2017-07-06 17:19:52 UTC  

This is a whole new government system we're talking about.

State Capitalist.
