Imagine if labour hired capital instead of the other way around.
It’s such a strange idea that we say money or capital goes to work when invested and that often that capital is valued more than human beings doing actual work. It seems very backwards.
There was a book called PostCapitalism that talked about when the returns of financials exceeds the returns on actual goods and services, there tends to be collapses and such. It’s been a while since I’ve read it. It didn’t really present a way out of capitalism beyond “I dunno, UBI maybe?” but the rest of it was interesting.
any money given to the middle and lower classes ends up in the pockets of the rich by the end of the day. UBI is literally just welfare for the rich.
The only way out is horizontal organising.
And night after night
I would be happy for my shares to go to zero if it meant working didn’t feel like this.
In the meantime spend EVERY spare cent on dividend stocks and organise.
So many communists in my city do not and cannot understand your last sentence. They literally have zero retirement and investment plan. Just because it you don’t like capitalism doesn’t mean you can’t invest in your future. I was shocked!
