That's the debate, isn't it. Jeordam Send a noteboard - 16/06/2020 06:16:10 PM

Were workers paid the full value of their labor? No. It's stolen. I'm someone who's tired of America's national deity being Mammon.

What is the full value of their labor? Does a kid working at a drive-through fast food place deserve $15 an hour? Does a CEO working at a corporation deserve millions? Does a heart surgeon and a custodial worker deserve equal compensation for their labor?

It should be noted that if our national deity was actually Mammon, why would we actively give money to altruistic causes?

I'm curious. damookster - 08/06/2020 06:59:18 PM 1171 Views
Knowledge is always uncertain, there will always be under and overreactions. Roland00 - 08/06/2020 07:06:35 PM 432 Views
I would expect so, yes. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2020 08:00:59 PM 226 Views
That yes is for which question? Or is it for both? *NM* damookster - 08/06/2020 08:23:06 PM 229 Views
The first one. Otherwise I'd have said no and yes. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2020 09:19:48 PM 222 Views
Yes, I believe we will... fionwe1987 - 08/06/2020 10:15:30 PM 471 Views
Why are you so invested in either closing down the country or the seriousness of the flu? Cannoli - 09/06/2020 06:37:24 PM 503 Views
Because I care about my fellow human being, cockroach. Go infest somewhere else. I'm done with you. *NM* fionwe1987 - 09/06/2020 08:35:42 PM 236 Views
Except you don't. You really, REALLY want this disease to be worse than it is. Cannoli - 12/06/2020 11:06:50 AM 471 Views
Sure. Anyone who disagrees with you wants mass poverty or mass death. No other possibility exists... fionwe1987 - 12/06/2020 02:44:08 PM 453 Views
Fionwe same as other alt-left crazies Nargs - 16/06/2020 05:24:12 PM 489 Views
I dunno what's "alt" about it. We're the mainstream. Which must scare you fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 06:06:44 PM 408 Views
Dissonance Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:02:08 PM 411 Views
Do you think it's possible to disagree, even vehemently damookster - 16/06/2020 08:14:50 PM 492 Views
I'm sure it is, in some conditions. fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:43:50 PM 480 Views

Stats don't tell the whole story. damookster - 16/06/2020 08:06:17 PM 427 Views
You're right but on race? Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:08:40 PM 469 Views
Yes, you're right. damookster - 16/06/2020 08:17:04 PM 421 Views
You realize that's not a contradiction, right? fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:49:56 PM 449 Views
A few points gban007 - 17/06/2020 09:29:15 PM 445 Views
I wasn't going to say it but... Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:17:57 PM 480 Views
Again: you really are a loathsome little ball of slime. Ghavrel - 10/06/2020 02:11:52 AM 433 Views
It's not my world, it's theirs. Cannoli - 12/06/2020 11:13:14 AM 473 Views
Burning down corporate stores and taking their stolen wealth is a moral good. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/06/2020 12:04:52 AM 234 Views
Stolen Wealth? Jeordam - 15/06/2020 04:50:59 PM 463 Views
How does one determine what is Original Sin? Roland00 - 15/06/2020 05:17:37 PM 456 Views
So then.... Jeordam - 15/06/2020 09:59:31 PM 442 Views
I'm uncertain if this is what Ghavrel meant, but I'd assume you don't need proof that slavery... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2020 07:59:07 PM 437 Views
So we're talking about reparations....? Jeordam - 15/06/2020 09:42:37 PM 456 Views
Why must money solve "all" issues? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2020 11:32:05 PM 433 Views
So then money won't... Jeordam - 16/06/2020 06:09:24 PM 439 Views

Those aren't codified examples Jeordam - 16/06/2020 07:31:49 PM 440 Views
Well that's some special nonsense fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:55:42 PM 448 Views
We're having a discussion...please try and not denigrate me. Jeordam - 17/06/2020 05:26:36 PM 432 Views
But I didn't clearly state I want to denigrate you. You're inferring intent. How's that ok? fionwe1987 - 17/06/2020 06:06:28 PM 442 Views
Pain and Death they *actively* choose... Jeordam - 17/06/2020 06:39:13 PM 471 Views
They make no such choice. Which is why they're out there protesting fionwe1987 - 17/06/2020 07:00:25 PM 484 Views
Sigh Roland00 - 16/06/2020 08:15:12 PM 421 Views
Nah I just straight up think capitalism is evil. Reparations should be paid, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/06/2020 09:22:46 AM 214 Views
Fair enough. *NM* fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 02:54:11 PM 206 Views

Re: Stolen Wealth? Ghavrel - 16/06/2020 09:21:32 AM 421 Views
Rather it should be The State? *NM* damookster - 16/06/2020 12:10:59 PM 208 Views
What is "the State" fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 02:57:34 PM 424 Views
my comment was directed to Ghavrel. damookster - 16/06/2020 04:49:39 PM 425 Views
You shouldn't make assumptions... fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 06:10:02 PM 436 Views
Lemme tell you about this cool thing called syndicalism... *NM* Ghavrel - 17/06/2020 06:46:38 AM 224 Views

Economists have been arguing this for over 400 years. Roland00 - 16/06/2020 08:22:57 PM 425 Views
You could let the market determine that, I guess. Ghavrel - 16/06/2020 08:56:23 PM 414 Views
Because we do not live in Paradise. Jeordam - 17/06/2020 05:36:58 PM 412 Views
Exactly. So the worker should own the means of production with other workers. Ghavrel - 17/06/2020 06:11:21 PM 422 Views
So my question then is.... Jeordam - 17/06/2020 06:46:11 PM 455 Views
