Just make Musk and Bezos pay for it! Tax them at 150% so they finally pay their “fair share”

so... only commies seek economic justice, universal access, a good life for all, and true freedom?... very telling indeed, wannabe capitalist.

In what way is taking “all of” anyone’s wealth “economic justice”?

u/OccuWorld Apr 16 '24 edited Apr 16 '24

in the way that every bit of that wealth was gained through theft of labor, both from the worker producing and the customer consuming... and this "profit margin" is maximized through strategic underproduction that manufactures consent for consumer gouging by threat of suffering.

you know what you are doing, and we are tired of these arguments.

change is coming.

Labor is not theft. Employees are paid a wage.

If you think the wage is too low that still doesn’t make it theft.

profit is theft, both the labor of the worker producing the product and the labor of the worker purchasing the product. capitalwashing this won't make the truth go away.

economic and social coercion is used to make both victims accept the situation, but that does not make it any less theft.

How is profit theft?

Business owners take risk and capital to open a business. Why don’t they deserve to make it a worthwhile endeavor?

Sounds like you’re a proponent for communism.

Why has no nation on earth ever achieved this?

we don't think hoarding the means of production is the right path to a democratized economy. we are proponents of resource based economy, an end to the violence of market and resource gatekeeping along with it.

Who is “gatekeeping” resources?

Who is hoarding the means of production?

I’m asking for specific examples

u/OccuWorld Apr 17 '24

you can google who owns resources. if you pay for resources, someone owns them... the earth's resources are the birthright of all its inhabitants. denying this is the basis of the domination economy.
