there doesn't have to be a baddy if people work for htemselves
You can if you're successful enough
you turn bourgeosie the moment you hire someone
more or less
Most people who do well for themselves end up employing other people
Why is that bad?
I'm not saying it's bad
i'm saying it is against the material interests of te employee
Well the dutch fellow said he'd revolt against them
you can revolt without introducing morals
Haven't seen it happen in history, a revolution completely devoid of any morality
that is correct
but you don't have to introduce morals in order to want to revolt
an actual revolution will be a movement of people
I think it's always there, you don't have to inject it
people have morals
well, if we're talking pure economics, which we started by doing, there are no morals
capitalism will move to socialism like feudalism moved to capitalism
economic theories don't introduce morals
right, but people seem more focused on the oppression vs oppressor thing than an actual economic model
that is true and it's a result of people not being without morals as you yourself said
ofc revolutions use moral arguments
but they also use economic
I generally like to seperate them
You might be able to, but I know how revolutions go
Sounds fun until people get killed for simply having employees
well feudal lords got killed simply by having serfs
and we celebrate that today
rightfully imo
serfs only had to pay 25% taxes, funny fact, compare it to now
the class relation between serf and feudal lord is comparable to that of employee/employer
and slave/slavemaster
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
I understand the want to distance from USSR-like societies
I don't think many people want that back
maybe some russian nationalists
but it's not like the dictatorship was something unforseen that happened without anyone seeing it coming
russia under the tsar consisted of mainly illiterate peasants so they didn't even attempt democracy
at least not democracy as we know it
Did the original revolutionaries have democracy in mind at all?
