    We are passive players in a perverse, inhumane, unholy game of the most anti social. Companies in our feudal system have decided that we are unnecessary… to beat down wages as they lower the bar and put responsibility out of reach but hand out consequence to those uninvolved. I will smash your sandcastle so now my sandcastle is the only one left.

    Also, the owning class does not want workers to have more time and energy to build a cohesive community that supports each other through mutual aid and is able to organize a struggle against the existing system that will end in expropriating the means of production/supply

    %100. Whenever there is a tech breakthrough, the first thing shareholders ask is how can they leverage it to maximise their profit which generally means same/more output with a smaller workforce.

    “no boss ever has said, ‘ah, now that these machines have production more efficient, i guess i can let my workers work less.’ only class struggle shortens labor time.”

    < sigh >

    Worker-owned-businesses make decisions differently.

    Simply imagine being 1st in a owners/managers/disposable-wage-slaves operation,

    then imagine being in a completely worker-owned business.

    Consider the totally-different paradigm of decisions, rooted in totally-different motivation for those decisions.

    False-dichotomy isn’t The Answer that we’ve been programmed to believe it to be.

    Compete-against the money-leveraged-parasitism paradigm properly, & different-results must become inevitable.

    Motivation really is significant.

    Consistent pattern-of-action really is significant.

    Such things, through years, do build different civilizations/societies.

    Downvote away, for my violating of ideology, but truth is truth, & fact is fact.
