So they should get overtime pay.

Reading Esther After the Destruction of Gaza What does the Book of Esther teach us about violence, both that of our enemies and that we commit ourselves?

"We're not talking about going after small business owners or even big business owners". This is most of what the economy is as the power structure that creates billionaires. It won't START TO BECOME an economy for working people without systematic changes to class power from employers to workers.

"We're not talking about going after small business owners or even big business owners". This is like actually the over-whelming majority of the economy as a power structure. We're not talking an economy for working people without systemic changes to class power from employers to workers.

How to overthrow the Illuminati This pamphlet gives an excellent account, analysis and debunking of conspiracy theories and proposes a practical alternative for poor, black and working class people for emancipation.

I mean, hell, even a constitutional republic would have some nominal brakes on unilateral war-making by the executive branch.

Framing the working class in a struggle against NOT owners of Capital, big or small, BUT against an elite cabal of β€œcheaters” who use wealth to influence government or wield power over workers (somehow unlike capitalists as a class)… is a warmed over structural antisemitic theory of capitalism.

Having a contract is no guarantee of protection or dignity. It’s a piece of paper. Bosses walk all over them every single day, but also most contracts protect boss power. Union power by contrast is extra-legal and about control of the workplace at the point of production.

To be fair, this structural antisemitism is baked into the culture, and needs to be a bigger conversation. The way that billionaires, awful as they are, replace class as a target of political analysis is the most common way this shows up even all over the left.

Calling it a sacrifice launders the actions precipitating their death in undue nobility. They shouldn’t have died because the US engaged in an illegal war. It is a dishonor to them to obfuscate who is really responsible for their death.

Yeah, the whole β€œwe’re not against small or even big business owners, but a pesky elite who pull strings” shtick is a warmed over antisemitic theory of the capitalist power structure. He rejects β€œright wing populism” but then repackages it on the level of its ideas.

I listened to it all. Counter-posing the working class against not the owners of Capital as a class, but an elite cabal of β€œcheaters”, is rehashing structural antisemitic theories of capitalism and repackaging the right wing populism he nominally rejects.

Isn’t the working class majority POC?

Yeah, as if owners of Capital however big or small are more like the working class than the actual working class. The focus on an elite cabal who use their wealth to ”cheat” rather than fulfill the norms and structural dynamics of Capitalism mis-reads the β€œworking people” as a rehashed populism.

Just like how Israel sought to get rid of Hamas by bombing Gaza by β€œglassingβ€œ the region. It’s disgusting.

Without a constitution, β€œwe” the people don’t have formal power over state actors. A plebiscite could call for an ancient form of ostracism, where the populace completely refuses cooperation with them, including refusing to feed them. However civil war is more likely.

People say billionaires should be taxed out of existence, but an economy that runs on money will create billionaires or undo tax mechanisms that nominally bar their existence. This happened under the high-tax post-war boom. We need socialism & a use- not money-based economy to abolish money lords.

E-bike scheme gives 67-year-old joy and a new lease of life Frances King, 67, who lives with osteoporosis, was referred to Cherwell District Council’s Move Together programme to support her in becoming more…

Is riding an e bike cheating?
No, it's just like doing 20 reps at a low weight instead of 10 at a heavy weight in the gym. You get the exercise anyway. AND you might be more likely to get on the bike in the first place.

It's not just or a matter of private ownership. They aren't the commons because they are not naturally produced and a gift of the living Earth. They might be restructured as a public good, but even that is not "the commons".
