Where do you stand on Anarcho-Socialism?

[JacobSpinney]

@Mcupobob If it's voluntary, I'm all for it.

@dancthegr First, what $1 can buy where they live is a lot more than what $1 can buy here. So our scale of comparison is already skewed. Second, we shouldn't be comparing our standard of living to theirs, as our society has far more capital and thus higher wages that can be paid. What we should compare is the standard of living of these people before these factories to what it is currently. If we make this comparison, it is without question that they are better off and continue to get richer.

@dancthegr in what way? Buying power relative to inflation in the phillipines is less than mexico.

[dancthegr]

@34lbs well that is an exception to the rule

Surely exploitation relates to US companies closing factories in the US, where all their customers are, and moving the factory out to China where they can pay workers peanuts and still charge their customers the same price.

What value has been added by the capitalist? To make a profit the factory owner either pays his staff less than they are worth or over charges his customers. That is exploitation of the many for the sake of one and leads to super rich and super poor. QED our status quo.

It is important to keep in mind is that fairness does not inherently make one earn less money. It makes someone NOT earn MORE money, which inherently is unfair only to THOSE people who want to make MORE money. If you start baking cookies and sell those for $1. In 3 years you stop making cookies yourself but have 40 employees making those cookies. Only 1 person in capitalist society will earn MORE among those other 40 people. Additional income could be gained by paying less to loyal employees.

@thelion2430 I will congratulate you when you become property of the state, a slave of the state.
