Advisory Briefs 🛠️The purpose of homes should be to house people. The purpose of healthcare should be healing. The purpose of farming should be feeding. Under capitalism, the purpose of all is profit.
woolie@advisorybriefs did anything interesting happen when the farms were collectivized?
mike805@wooliex @advisorybriefs Food production was underwhelming, and peasants resisted. The government responded by seizing all the food and letting the peasants starve.
Collective farming has produced starvation every single time starting with the pilgrims. If you prevent food being produced for profit, food will not be produced at all.
Now if we can fully automate production of necessities, then you can have your socialism, and also eat.
LonesomeDove@mike805 @wooliex @advisorybriefs fully automate ,,, who owns this utopia of zero workers?
And what jobs do the folk in Midwest then have- oiling the machines?
@usanchor @wooliex @advisorybriefs There needs to be a publicly owned and fully automated system that produces the necessities without running up any debt. Then you can have a UBI and people can work if they want to work. Most people probably will.
But your boss no longer has the power of life and death (or at least homelessness and fear) to hold over you.
