all hail klass societie's
surplus producers
but come the rev
lets rectify the methods
of extraction
if not the underlying klass
lets
" give it all to the producers
before we "borrow" it back "
=====================================
every one loves the idea
of the personal sacrifice
take savings out of income
what a virtue
but thats subjective
would it be any different
socially
if the savings
was secretly extracted
up front ?
a penny is a penny
surplus producers
are all folks
who produce more
then they consume
the wageling
who's part of
some profiteer's
work gang
is by definition a surplus producer
but he/she don't get the credit
for abstaining from consuming
the profit share
the surplus part
of their product
follow this dumb notion all around
and the whole burger world is a hideous fraud
a pack of tartuffes
rip off some geeps product
and playing virtuous abstaining
from immediately consuming
their ever so ill gotten gains
-----------------------------
the great fear
and i see it even in the gotha critique
is that if one paid out
the full value added
to wageling type surplus producers
thus making them
potentially
non surplus producers
once all accumulation
came out
of voluntary savings
would the rate
of
social accumulation
suffer ?
after all
the profiteer's
extractions
out of wagelings value added
are
the crux of "the social"
function
we now "trust"
largely to private capitalists
on the assumption they'll
accumulate more
out of the flitched value (the surplus)
then wagelings
would themselves save
if given their" full value "
my point in answer
is so what
theres better ways
then do gooder
high handed manipulations
my way
i call
simple
wide open up front
public extractions
right out of the pay check
a blatant draft
of personal wagery
funds
yanked right out of
the consumption-savings stream
for social investment
this type of
forced investment system
can play
the role of growth rate
goal reacher
there to vary
as needed
if indeed
the short fall
out of voluntary savings
is signifigant
essentially
each wageling
would have a share
of their own
in this fund
his/her own personal
social investment account
unlike pprofiteers filtches
still his/hers
but invested for them
whhether they like it or not
nothing unusual here
in the results
on the individual level
the deal would look little
different
from an ira or 401k
choice and self management
of where to place ones share
would be possible of course
not as meaningless
as baby snooks'
car seat steering wheel
is to the operation of the car
but
clearly indirect
in its output effects
on the economy
but
at the macro level
the amount
out of each pokes
value added
would be a collective choice
like taxes
not a private choice like profits
none the less
unlike nowsville
the wagelings
here
would see
in bright numbers
just exactly
what of "theirs"
is going
to
the social accumulation fund
and just exactly what
is their share
of the social burden
all of it
openly transparently revealed
and each wageling
under
a predictable
discretionarily arrived at
universal
rate structure
not like the present day
hodge podge hose and dispose
we call
the private profit system
where 24/7
each profiteer
if he has any balls at all
gets himself
inside some ass hole profit center
and fights like a tiger kat
to max
his take
for himself
-----------------------------
i hasten to add here
1)
the production units
value added max strategy
is a profitoid calc
and
2)
the value added cut up in the first pplace
into each geep's contribution
presents wildly complex
unsolved issues
and no fantasy
of perfect value calculations
done on high by planners
and/or by perfected market structures
will ever put me to sleep at night
socialism still means
taking concious resposibility
for fucking everything
otherwise its
just another one
of capitalism's grub states
then again
we got to approach
this challenge
not with
fear and trembling
face it
we sure as hell
better prepare ourselves
for a rough ride
klasses are invoved here
some in disguse
but hey
i'd "pay'
almost anything
just for the chance
to take that ride
wouldn't u ?
