'The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared "now I am my own master", upon taking a paying job.[31] However, later in life he concluded to the contrary, saying "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other".'
B-b-but in Epic Rap Battles of History, Frederick Douglass said, "The face of a free man, taught himself to read, man", what do you mean he still felt like a slave in a wage system??
If we're stopping short of a literal revolution that abolishes the existence of money — which would be poggers — employee funds have been proposed as a way of transitioning businesses into full employee ownership. That would fix a lot of the most immediate issues we face.
I'm all for Work Reform. The profits need to be shared amongst the employees better, and there should be no billionaires - this 4,000% needs to stop. But there will always be "work" that needs to be done, and there needs to be people to do said work. There will always need to be employees and a manager that "manages" them, otherwise there will be no organization and work efficiency will absolutely collapse.
