    Bold of this clown to assume people just want wealth redistribution, not the abolition of capitalism and currency as we currently know it.

    Also, leading your argument about how wealth redistribution won't work with

    There is a big problem with your egalitarian 'redistribution' from the rich to the poor; it reduces the difference between top and bottom

    But wait, that reduces incentive for people to work hard, so they won't! Except that's not true anyway

    Intuitively, one would think that higher pay should produce better results, but scientific evidence indicates that the link between compensation, motivation and performance is much more complex. ... The results indicate that the association between salary and job satisfaction is very weak

    :funny-clown-hammer:

    Almost like people want meaningful work and to not be dependent upon their job to not be destitute.

      Also, fuck the incentive to work hard. We don't need to keep working harder and harder year over year. One of the major faults of capitalism is its tendency towards the crisis of overproduction, which results in devastating recessions/depressions/panics. This causes large swaths of the population to get pushed into the masses of the unemployed because surprise surprise, we didn't actually need to be producing that much shit and the market is over-saturated.

      That is the consequence of organizing all of society's labor around the whims of a capital owning class whose only motivation is the endless accumulation of more and more profits. If we instead organized our own labor around providing ourselves what we needed and wanted, then we would all be able to work less and actually enjoy our lives instead of spending our lives at work.
