yes they did- with tools and infrastructure provided by the business owners...
business owners underpaid workers
Money doesn't do anything, labor creates things.
Business owners don't do all the work, and you can bet in mining tools the owner is very far removed from the furnace floor.
you are confalting free market capitalism with the rigged bullshit central banking system
No, I am not.
When you can tell me how crapitalism escapes the havenots working for less value than they create to the benefit of the haves, you let me know.
In my proposal they can have whatever material crap they want, but they got to get productive, in some form.
Crapitalism ( central banks and fiat currency) is the problem,
I will concede that in a world where we all create our own money, it is going to be near impossible to overcome the headstart that the crapitalust mindwarp has.
Yet, the havenots will still be working while the haves 'supervise'.
hierarchies of competence - meritocracies - are a very real thing - from every organism that left the ocean (and before) and endemic in _every single organism...
Money is just a token. nothing more. The value behind the token can only be valid when the money itself is constant (not fiat/inflationary).
You discount this applying to humans...why?
We are the product of nature. We are natural creatures.
You think we can transcend hierarchy and meritocracy? It's not logical.
Work within reality - what is - rather than try to shape it to fit your own vision, maybe...?
(just sayin')
There is nothing wrong with hierarchies of competence.
(as opposed to hierarchies of dominance, which seems to be the object of your dissent - on which I agree with you 100%, btw)
I agree hierarchies do form naturally, but i dont think they need the power to sstasrsve and turn into the streets whomever they please.
Why do you figure wages are so uniform across regions?
Do you think that is real market forces, or the result of collusion among the haves to stay in power?
What do you have against giving people food and shelter?
Why do you want the power to deny them that?
