Does that include the bosses? I doubt it. Do you see any of them working on a minimmum wage? Never. When their company goes bust due to THEIR decisions, who suffers? Not them. They just ring a mate and get another cushy well paid job with huge bonuses for making another mess.Originally Posted by somebody
As for Russia et al being communist, you make me laugh. They were state capitalist. True communism means production for consumption not competition, less waste and everybody having a say in how things are done, not being dictated to by a centralist government.
I'm not a Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist or any other type of Communist but have read widely and know what is what politically/economically.
The main weapon of capitalism is divide and rule and it is still working as can be seen by the reactions to my post.
Good luck if you wish to continue to ake money for others while being expected to live on a pittance. You may be loyal to your employer but they certainly won't be loyal to you.
If you get made redundant the will give you their platitudes about how they have no choice but they really don't care. I have seen it and suffered it myself so speak from experience. All they care about is their own bank balance.
I agree their is much waste in both national and local government organisations, but you can't blame the workers for that, it's not them making the decisions.
As for the private sector being the ones to bring money in to the system, they also take it out without paying tax like those of us on PAYE. Where does this money come from? The vast majority of them don't risk their own money but borrow against the company to ensure there is enough to line their own pockets. When they can't pay they raid the pension fund but most of the bosses are in different systems so they don't suffer.
Well enough of my rant for now, but I do feel better for it. You can't beat a good old fashioned political argument!
