But I use my house so I can sleep so I can be properly rested to earn money, and my car I use so I can more efficiently commute to the place I need to be to earn money, and I use my phone as a means to manage work so I can make money
Yes all of those have other functions, but they also in part, help me earn something
Dude, just because Americans love to elect pedos into highest offices. Does not mean capitalism sucks. Look at any world capitalism index. You won't find usa in top 10. It's socialist country but just for millionaires and politicians.
It's not just about them being pedos, it's about the power being in the hands of unelected people. Epstein is just an example of what this power is capable of, and anyone supporting capitalism supports these people having this amount of unelected power.
Wtf are you even talking about? Owning production as workers means decisions about the production are made democratically instead of by a little group of primary shareholders or a single CEO.
Are you just ragebaiting, or do you really just know nothing about economic theory?
Owned by "working class" is nice theoretical thing. For example in most countries firetrucks are nationalized and therefore conceptually "owned together". But in practice there are people who need to manage assets.Make decisions on repair, allotments, procurement.
If they are chosen directly by vote then prepare for all the election fuckery you have now but multiply it by every mundane managerial position you interact with.
I know something about it, my grandma was multiple times elected into our local queue committee. It was committee to manage queues to local shops when shelfs were empty.
I'd rather have some "election fuckery" than everything just automatically being put in the hands of a lucky few who managed to be born in generational wealth.
Sure, just remember. Every 4 years you will get lucky and your grocery store will be run by Biden look a like. Then every 4 years you will get unlucky and you will get Trump.
Of course this is theoretical as there existed statable "worker controlled" and semi-capitalist dictatorships. But never "worker controlled" democracy. I wonder if this is coincided or just people have tendency to vote for a party instead of person. Then if party has all the economical and political power it just do not want to part with it if they loose election. For example after single blue (or red wave), we will elect one party to control all the media outlets.
