I think what Bernie is proposing is too frightening for people. We've been so indoctrinated into our present way of viewing labor relationships, that this seems like a gamble.
It's so clear to me now. And what is also interesting is listening to Max Keiser this week. He's also discussing the indicators that show how capitalism has finally run it's course. To continue on like this is like ignoring a house on fire. People just feel like asking someone for a job, and letting them run the show is how it works. We're actually moving back towards feudalism. And the income inequality is very much like that.
This is all about the discovery Marx made. And it's why Marx is demonized and minimized. There is absolutely zero being taught in schools regarding Marx's discovery. And it's not a theory. It's a fact. People are being mistreated and omitted from participating in the very employment situation they are in. This is the crux of it all. Workers are being treated just a bit better than slaves. And in some cases, just the same.
Quantitative easing is all about lowing wages.
Bernie knows these things, and we have a rare opportunity in this election to begin turning this arrangement around. Who controls the value that the workers add. That's what this is all about. We can regulate, and change the decorations on the walls, but in the end the only thing that will turn this capitalist problem around is rearranging who controls the fruits of our labor.
I'm amazed that this thread was kept off the greatest page. I'm going to rework my thoughts, and post this elsewhere because it's time people see just how much better their world can be. This is one of those revelations that comes once or twice in a lifetime. I finally saw the light. It's odd how I have always felt poorly about the situation, but never consciously saw it until now. I too was repelled from Marx by how he has been tarnished in our society. All but nonexistent, because it threatened those who knew they could keep this racket going.
