: I like Fassbinder because he dosen't try to force his ideas and plot revolution like others who have posted here. He just lays his thoughts out, and in his unbiased way shows the absurdity of them.Be specific, Mike. Which thought did you find "absurd"? No one will learn anything if you say "all of them," unless you go over some statement point by point.
: Of course you'll work for yourself free of charge. But are you(pl.) willing to do it for every Joe Blow?
There would have to be a compact of mutual trust before any different economic arrangement would represent an improvement over capitalism. That's why many of the participants in this forum are in favor of "one big union."
: Again capitalism, money, "greed", "profit", "commodity lust": whatever you want to call it, produces inovation and technology.
It is people in their roles as intelligent thinkers who have produced innovation and technology, and in their roles as capitalists, they have merely tried to "cash in on" innovation and technology. Social innovations, such as the Bill of Rights and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, have to my knowledge not netted any direct profit to any capitalist, and there are plenty of people I know who "innovate" technologically in order to make their lives easier, regardless of the possibility of profit coming from such innovation. No one, here or elsewhere, has persuaded me that such innovation is entirely dependent upon a capitalist system.
