Or maybe we get rid of the “wages = living” bit.

We could all negotiate for the full value of our labor a lot better if we didn’t have a noose around our neck forcing us to work.

I have nothing in principle against people earning a living through dignified, honest, collective labor, with the basics being guaranteed such as housing, healthcare, education, nutrition, energy and a few others.

Yes, I’m what you would call a communist. Or a tankie, depending on your mood!

Filthy communist wanting healthcare, security, and better society. Think about the billionaires’ children, how will they become neop babies?
