Left-Wing Discussion Thread II: Behind 700,000 Bunkers

[Genivaria]

It's actually from a fanfic that parodies the rise of the Nazi party, so you're pretty warm.

And the protagonist is the character on my flag.

egoism is a meme and not even a good one. the only think stirnerites do is call everything they disagree with spooks
well here's a corker for you, the ego is a spook.

This post it a spook.

Language is a cultural spook to force us into communicating with each other. In fact, only when people create an Egoists Union (for individual self benefit, of course), should a language be created (for individual self benefit)

The Sovereign Citizens are the only true egoist movement in America. They just don't know it yet.

Saw this while reading a story and was curious how it would be received here.

There will be a minimum wage.
Child labor is outlawed.
Men and women will receive equal pay for commensurate labor.
Workers will have a standard forty-hour work week, with a maximum of sixty hours, all labor performed beyond forty hours will be paid at a rate of time and one half.
Employers will be required to meet minimum safety standards to be set by the National Labor Office.
Employees will have the right to compensation for death or injury that occurs either while performing activities related to their employment or while at an employer's premises.
Employees shall also have the right to file civil suits against employers for unsafe work conditions or practices."

"And, in exchange for all these benefits, strikes are hereby outlawed.
From this point on unions, or the delegated representatives of a group of workers, will file any grievances they have with the National Labor Board.
The board will set up an arbitration hearing and listen to the arguments of both sides.
Their decisions shall be binding."

Does this sound like a fair exchange to anyone?

It's naive to believe that capitalists and the state that represents them would put the interests of workers before the accumulation of capital. Strikes are among the most useful tools in the worker's arsenal. Giving it up is suicide.

The workers have historically been represented by the state as well.

would put the interests of workers before the accumulation of capital.

The existence of welfare, healthcare, labor rights, etc. suggests differently.

Strikes are among the most useful tools in the worker's arsenal.

Mainly because of a lack of an alternative in a laissez faire economy.

If anyone buys this, I have a bridge to sell you.

whoever wrote this is disasterously out of touch. First of all, 40 hours average and 60 maximum is a travesty on it's own, the rest may as well say "I HATE UNIONS" in size 72 bold

Considering that I consider myself lucky to snag 26 hours/week I'm not seeing the tragedy.

A character in the story had the same reaction.
So she offered the head of the Social Democratic party the position of head of the National Labor Board.

It should fit in well with LWDT then.

And the protagonist is the character on my flag.

let me tell you that 40 hours a week is a struggle, and any more than that is hell on earth. and if those 40 hours are in an office, factory or warehouse, you'll be a husk inside of a decade.

I didn't disagree with you about work hours, if I did, show me where.

I am a libertarian person. I am willing to let people make their own choices about their own lives. but when furries are mentioned, I could make Stalin turn in his grave.

My last job I usually got around 45-50 hours/per week.
I miss being able to pay my bills.

Anime>Furries.
