A rant against Capitalist bargaining in the work place

The biggest flaw of a capitalist free market: the inequality of bargaining power between the wage-worker and the hierarchical corporation.

"I have shown the contractor, at the birth of industry, negotiating on equal terms with his comrades, who have since become his workmen. It is plain, in fact, that this original equality was bound to disappear through the advantageous position of the master and the dependent position of the wage-workers. In vain does the law assure the right of each to enterprise . . . When an establishment has had leisure to develop itself, enlarge its foundations, ballast itself with capital, and assure itself a body of patrons, what can a workman do against a power so superior?" -Proudhon

The modern day economy is a master-serf relationship as the worker must depend on his employer for every form of sustenance via his wage.

It is our state enforced conceptions of private property which support such an unequal market, and so to free ourselves, we must reconsider how to define property.

Think about what you think is ownable. As humans have advanced through time, we have seen it is not correct that a human should own another human, but we accept the same economic outcome resulting from the wage-worker's output being owned by the corporation which employs him.

We are exploited through our wages. There are those who profits are secured by using their ownership of economic resources to restrict our access to a truly free and cooperative market.

This is unacceptable. We must demand to be treated as equals. We can no longer accept unjust authority. We must end the stste-supported monopolies that own us through our debts. The system is rigged for the consolidation of wealth, as opposed to its distribution.

Let us shrug this economic system of eternal debt and ownership and replace it with one of cooperative production and services. It is us, the actual producers and service providers who create the wealth for one another, not those in the financial sector who keep score in a manner to perpetually benefit themselves.

We do not need authority beyond ourselves to live freely. Let's stop asking permission to live in a natural state, where our labor is a gift we can provide to a fellow man, not a commodity which he can own through our debts.

Marleeeey, I've got something for ya Tut tut tut tut Come here boy I wish I could call for you one more time Hear your collar clinging, running to the sound of treats Clattering on the floor along with your claws I wish I could feel your breath, hold your toes Rub your chin, brush your fur one last time I miss your weight on my chest I miss feeling paralyzed by your cuteness Commanded not to move to make the most Of the priceless moments of your touch I wish life wasn't tragic But tragedy is part of life And death is a tragedy  The comedian in all of us wants to rage  Set fire to the absurdity of it all  Why do we endure all this pain Because there's so much more than pain We also have joy and love and peace The pleasure of a back scratch is worth it all Thank you for all of your snuggles Your mischievous self interest As innocent as my children's smiles I can hear you in the rumble of the world Traffic echos, music whines, and I feel you I miss you already, my little m...

Yay Anxiety!

I gave you more than you asked to receive. I misinterpreted you sharing as a desire to feel care through the expression of understanding and thought of you. The distance between us is too broad of an expanse for you to expend the energy to keep in touch.  I get it. I don't agree with it, but I accept it. I don't need to convince you otherwise. Knowing you this briefly has taught me what a longer connection never could. Vision taught me that a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a simple truth, but it resonates. I wish it wasn't over, but I also see that it is better for me in ways that it ended so quick. What do we owe one another? You told me it amounts to nothing. I think you're right, but I think you missed that a good relationship is never owed. We choose it. It's a verb we do because we want it. It's not about debts to be served, but service freely given. Or maybe you already know that and just don't want to give any more. Thank you for...
