[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 5302449, member: 56035"] democracy is the antidote to power if its very democratic. unions used to be counterveiling power to corporate power. wealth is power which is why you dont want too much inequality bc then you get too much concentrated power. capitalism centralizes power on the job, and more systematically. piketty did a famous book on this showing how it systematically drives towards inequality ie power centralization over time. youre quite right getting rid of this system could make things worse but thats not saying much considering its going to collapse according to MIT in next 20 years and we will be extinct in next 100. even if its didnt collapse, its not democratic and goes against democracy. following orders 40 hours a week is a bad example to set if you believe in democracy. the world would be better if ppl acted like me but good chance thats not good enough [/QUOTE]
