An argument for universal self-employment: https://www.ellerman.org/rethinking-common-vs-private-property/
The purpose of this paper is to suggest a rethinking of the common-versus-private framing of the property rights issue in the Commons Movement. The underlying normative principle we will use is simply the basic juridical principle that people should be legally responsible for the (positive and negative) results of their actions, i.e., that legal or de jure responsibility should be imputed in accordance with de facto responsibility. In the context of property rights, the responsibility principle is the old idea that property should be founded on people getting the (positive or negative) fruits of their labor, which is variously called the labor or natural rights theory of property.

The global economy is fracturing. War in the Middle East drives energy prices up while AI threatens to collapse the job market. Corrupt systems and elite greed continue to ignore human suffering for profit. We must demand transparency now.

It’s odd when someone who isn’t one of the primary beneficiaries of the system is extremely committed to opposing any increase in taxation of those primary beneficiaries let alone more radical measures like workplace #democracy. Perhaps this Orwell quote provides some insight into such #psychology

"And in reality I believe there are greater and more important issues such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion that would all take priority before that particular issue."

Leo replied:
"First of all, I think it's very important that the unity or division of the church should not revolve around sexual matters. We tend to think that when the church is talking about morality that the only issue of morality is sexual."
