Agreed. When your livelihood isn't democratic its hard to say that you live in a democracy. Of course there are flaws with the democratic system itself from governments too but that's another story.
Yeah, I didn't feel like waiting, had to get in early on the socialist hype train for this place
None of the capitalist governments are truly democratic nor do they embody democratic values. Authoritarian structures persist in the workplace because they define the structure of society under capitalism. It’s not that our places of work are out of step with the values of our society; rather, the workplace and the relationship between capital and labor dictate the values and structure of society. This is what dictatorship of the proletariat seeks to remedy. By placing the means of production into the hands of the workers, you achieve a truly democratic society.
Next thing you need to do is argue how gabr is socialist.
It pioneered a genre that it still remains supreme on top of. Let that be enough for one game.
This post made me realize I actually mistyped and meant FFVI in my earlier post. Hehehe, oops?
How do you apply this to Switzerland? It's capitalist but also the most pure example of democracy, especially in those cantons where everything is 100% decided by the people.
I never really thought about how authoritarian our workplace structure is. You have a CEO at the top that runs everything, then a board of directors/managment, and at the bottom you have the workers keeping things running. I wonder if we can break away from such a work structure? Would something like a co-op be the most democratic workplace structure? Or is there somthing better still?
Considering Christoph Blocher, there's nothing pure about Swiss democracy; so long as his transformed SVP is the dominant force in Swiss politics, the Swiss live in a far-right plutocracy.
Personally I think you need to remake society entirely in order to truly achieve a complete break from the hierarchical authoritarianism of capitalist structures (I.e. have communism). In the interim co-ops are a good way to ensure the protection of workers and establish worker power, if you just mean what structures can we create within capitalism that help push us towards socialism.
Capitalist countries cannot be “the most pure example of democracy”, because power is still held primarily by capital and not the people. Last I checked workers didn’t own the means of production in Switzerland but I’m certainly no expert on the politics or government of the country. Terrell definitely knows more than me
Not TOO terribly much other than what I'm told by people who live there, corroborated by news stories. And what I'm told is that the halls of power are corrupted by THICK veins of cash from capitalists, if they're not using that cash to run for power themselves. Plutarchy, through and through.
Hi Brock.
We've been over this, he's clearly a progressive Tory!
There is something to be said for how Playstation 5 marketing elevates PoC for sure.
Remember those PSP ads.
Here we go!We must take over the forums before the liberals do
whos that, the gta IV guy? rockstar is not subtle in their characterization so the answer must be somewhere in the game
"Niko was a reckless driver before he even left his home country, as Roman comments that he is still a crazy driver. When destroying Roman's cab during Easy Fare, Roman will joke on how Niko always blows up normal cars but doesn't crash "the tanks from back home"."
That's one of things that always makes people question what liberalism truly stands for. Liberals will gladly side with the right if they fear their comfortable standard of living is threatened in any way or form.
The Nolan Chart?
I mean liberals want to take their liberty to such extrems so that nobody can enforce anything on them and their wealth, which would also mean their power.
