Thread: Your View Om Communism

I work for me and what i want. How do you know my job keeps me in lower middle class? You dont even know how old i am or my current situation. How do you know i dont work for myself? Btw lower middle class is a subsection of middle class, not a space between lower and middle. Middle class is actually petty wealthy.

your job must keep you in lowermiddleclass if you are working and still in lowermiddleclass. You're right I dont know you or much about your situation. Do you work for yourself? And yes middle class is quite wealthy, probably the wealthiest group of that size in history. In fact even lower middle class is wealthy compared to the rest of history. (even the "lower classes" are comparitivly rich,just look how fat the average southern wal-mart shopper is!)

Clearly capitalism has created fucking amazing amounts of wealth. At what cost? boredom? on the back of hardworking people wasting their lives? Who is to say what the price of progress should be, and who is to say if its worth it, not me. Personally I think capitalism is amazing, but I also think that "capitalism is cannabalism", At least it seems to be "working" better than a lot of other things. On the other hand just because its better that say, feudalism or "flawed USSR Stalinist "communism" " doesn't mean we can't still come up with something better. (I don't know, maybe something like a post-anarchist Ludic society built around "playing" all day might be nice )

you sound like a modern day peasant! is it really that great a thing that they give you? a job the keeps you lower middle class? Arn't you just being used? And I can't seem to understand how being lower-middle-class and working for someone else is really "freedom"?

my point was more of a john lennon song reference than anything else that I hoped someone would see : D

...and I guess a marxist point too that Intdended repeated in his own words, slightly less tactfully..with words like zombies



But I'm still wondering, is "freedom" the ability to choose which fastfood joint or factory you get to work at?
