    getting work done, hopefully the third referendum for building up a comission that can organise the fourth referendum that can pressure parliament into recognising the "affordable access to accessible affordability act" that can then pave the way into not holding the fifth referendum because really, that's just playing into the AfD's hands at that point, maybe later kiddo

    Holding a warm up referendum to determine whether private companies be allowed to own more than 3000 residential properties. I'm surprised near about 40% voted against it. But seeing how Brexit went I'm guessing the real estate companies were given free reign to spread lies.

    Average centrist pundit:

    clueless

    We tried it before and it didn’t work. Why would we vote for it again?

      The way I understand it is that the the state should expropriate them, not split them up.

      Only by having a few companies, can the efficiencies of scale be used to extract profit.

          It is true that a company can be broken up into different pieces or verticals for different reasons, but the key is that they do not act like an internal market where profit is extracted from each interaction with one another. For the most part they are allocated a set of resources and charged with delivering whatever they are responsible for, and then every year they are re-budgeted to achieve the same results or better, ideally at the same cost or less. Savings are transferred out and eventually to the shareholders.

          So, what I am saying is that instead of having lots of different companies extracting profit from one another at each part in the system, creating inefficiencies, a large company can basically dictate down what everything costs and wherever excess value can be extracted, it is done more efficiently, captured more completely and transferred upwards towards a single set of shareholders.

          Basically a corporation is a perfect command economy wolff-shining

              Yup I was absolutely thinking of Lampert. I was also thinking of a department that I deal with personally that is run like that and they are a bunch of fucking assholes.

    Western democracy is when you vote as many times as necessary to achieve result wanted by the ruling class (who might also just ignore if proles voted wrongly).
