You can't really have a revolution with 16% of the population

we have over 40 million people like that

you think it's just people in poverty who will revolt?

yeah they'll start

but then it'll be the people just above the poverty line

and then just above that

people realizing "this is a thing that can happen and is happening"

Well like I'm pretty much in the very middle, (52% of white male income) and I feel like I have a lot of money... Just need a girlfriend...

I mean I am 52 percentile

another world's possible, y'know

the automation we're all so afraid of could go towards helping everyone and not just a handful of people

revolution isnt only the poor and destitute but they make a good starting point

what are you afraid of?

I would maybe support socialism on peoples social skills. I am weak in that area even though I have some money. It would screw over people that have above average social skills though

Money isn't the only thing

idk what ur on about

If everyone has the same amount of money, there will still be people who are disadvantaged and unhappy

do you really think that socialism is giving everyone the same amount of money

My cousin is poor, but he has a wife and kids. So he has happiness in different ways than I do

when you talk to people who are against socialism about socialism, they never bring up worker organization

it's all "everyone is equal", just what the reaganistas told everyone it was

becausethat takes votes away from the GOP

if americans actually knew what socialism was then both parties would be ruined

nobody even knows of the history of organized labor anymore

@Apple O'Day look up some of the old IWW actions or the blair mountain strikes, it's interesting

I agree with your general principle, but I think the way to do it is to slowly put more and more automation, and have less workers with a higher salary. But, these Democrats want as many poor laborers as possible. In everyone's ideals, companies will have the same number of workers or less and have higher wages

Basically any way you slice it, unnecessary extra laborers will be poor and get screwed over, in your system or in my ideal

I looked up the iww and it seems like a very good idea

But once again, if you have Mexicans from Honduras willing to work for 8$ an hour, then you'll just be replaced with cheap laborers

Or, if you have legislation then they will just get machines and everyone will be screwed

But your ideas to seem to have more merit than I thought

I believe we both want the same thing, which is higher wages for American workers
