[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3052238, member: 56035"] so right now im doing OT at my job because they let you bank at 1.5x what you work. if i was french, i wouldnt have to do this because in france they work 35 hours a week and closer to 32 hours a week in the south. even when they passed the labour "reforms" in france, they didnt dare touch the 35 hour work week because it was so popular. also i was thinking when you dont practice economic democracy at work with workers voting on stuff on the job, then it also weakens political democracy outside the job. people will be passive and their "representatives" will be corrupt. a free market means free movement of labour across borders, not just capital. so if you dont like free movement of labour then you dont like free markets. im not really sure what to think of markets in a post capitalist society. im in favor of decentralized groups of people getting together to plan things out if they feel like it.
