there doesn't have to be a baddy if people work for htemselves

2017-07-06 16:14:11 UTC  

You can if you're successful enough

2017-07-06 16:14:24 UTC  

you turn bourgeosie the moment you hire someone

2017-07-06 16:14:30 UTC  

more or less

2017-07-06 16:14:31 UTC  

Most people who do well for themselves end up employing other people

2017-07-06 16:14:35 UTC  

Why is that bad?

2017-07-06 16:14:42 UTC  

I'm not saying it's bad

2017-07-06 16:14:54 UTC  

i'm saying it is against the material interests of te employee

2017-07-06 16:14:59 UTC  

Well the dutch fellow said he'd revolt against them

2017-07-06 16:15:14 UTC  

you can revolt without introducing morals

2017-07-06 16:15:47 UTC  

Haven't seen it happen in history, a revolution completely devoid of any morality

2017-07-06 16:15:55 UTC  

that is correct

2017-07-06 16:16:10 UTC  

but you don't have to introduce morals in order to want to revolt

2017-07-06 16:16:20 UTC  

an actual revolution will be a movement of people

2017-07-06 16:16:26 UTC  

I think it's always there, you don't have to inject it

2017-07-06 16:16:28 UTC  

people have morals

2017-07-06 16:16:58 UTC  

well, if we're talking pure economics, which we started by doing, there are no morals

2017-07-06 16:17:00 UTC  

capitalism will move to socialism like feudalism moved to capitalism

2017-07-06 16:17:08 UTC  

economic theories don't introduce morals

2017-07-06 16:17:48 UTC  

right, but people seem more focused on the oppression vs oppressor thing than an actual economic model

2017-07-06 16:17:58 UTC  

To say that's not a big part of it isn't fair imo

2017-07-06 16:18:12 UTC  

that is true and it's a result of people not being without morals as you yourself said

2017-07-06 16:18:38 UTC  

ofc revolutions use moral arguments

2017-07-06 16:18:49 UTC  

but they also use economic

2017-07-06 16:18:56 UTC  

I generally like to seperate them

2017-07-06 16:19:12 UTC  

You might be able to, but I know how revolutions go

2017-07-06 16:19:23 UTC  

Sounds fun until people get killed for simply having employees

2017-07-06 16:19:42 UTC  

well feudal lords got killed simply by having serfs

2017-07-06 16:20:01 UTC  

and we celebrate that today

2017-07-06 16:20:04 UTC  

rightfully imo

2017-07-06 16:20:18 UTC  

serfs only had to pay 25% taxes, funny fact, compare it to now

2017-07-06 16:20:44 UTC  

the class relation between serf and feudal lord is comparable to that of employee/employer

2017-07-06 16:20:56 UTC  

and slave/slavemaster

2017-07-06 16:21:03 UTC  

The angle I come from is more libertarian, changing what it is now with a communist dictatorship(which it almost always is) is simply a slight of hand

2017-07-06 16:21:51 UTC  

I understand the want to distance from USSR-like societies

2017-07-06 16:22:01 UTC  

I don't think many people want that back

2017-07-06 16:22:09 UTC  

maybe some russian nationalists

2017-07-06 16:22:49 UTC  

but it's not like the dictatorship was something unforseen that happened without anyone seeing it coming

2017-07-06 16:23:36 UTC  

russia under the tsar consisted of mainly illiterate peasants so they didn't even attempt democracy

2017-07-06 16:23:47 UTC  

at least not democracy as we know it

2017-07-06 16:24:13 UTC  

Did the original revolutionaries have democracy in mind at all?
