It's how they keep people under control. Keep them dumb, desperate and distracted. Now wonder the US has the best entertainment on the planet.
THIS is how CEO's make thier money, it's how the rich 1% stay rich - by exploiting people who let them exploit them based on outmoded tropes from the rich people of the last generation, who exploited people who had very little choice when it came to 'money' Incarcerate the rich who own companies that don't pay living wages
America may be behind but sadly quite a few countries seem to keen on racing it right to the bottom. Nobody seems to learn from all the mistakes it is making.
Don’t kid yourself. They’ve learned plenty.
They dum.
No, there are approximately 190 fully capitalist countries, stop whitewashing capitalism. Capitalist countries also include: Afghanistan, Burundi, South Sudan, DRC and India. Stop with this evolutionist nonsense.
It's not socialism
Bro, it's socialism.
Some of it is national socialism, so maybe don't get too enthusiastic about how the Brits segregate out their health care services or the Germans treat unemployed immigrants or the French handle non-native speakers trying to form a union.
But all of this has socialist economic organizing at its foundation.
It's not actually though. you're confusing nordic welfare states for socialism, there are even variants of socialism like market socialism with none of these.
Socialism is strictly about worker owned means of production.
Oh come on. The US leads the world, by a healthy margin, in number of billionaires.
Not anymore. China has more billionaires than US. 1,100 vs 1,000 or so.
27 countries? Which ones?
It's kinda why these types of posts should probably be discouraged. Posts like these should have sources.
To be fair they did say they had the lowest literacy rates
scotus also reversed the ruling that potus can now fire at well on the 12 agencies, like cpbd, sec,,,,etc.
you can have both private a full public option. funny enough thats the military healthcare plan right now, but its not available to any of the civilians.
you can also judge the health of a country by the mortality/morbidity of mothers/woman. they pretty much have the worst outcome of neo and post natal morbidity, and mortality of all developed countries. worst if you are a POC, or black.
Seems like a lot of them countries are trying to strip that stuff away though.
Work Reform
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
