We need an #ElectionStrike2024. This #election confirms that the #American people are headed in a dark direction. Hate and fascism has won the popular vote in America. We need to cut back on spending at American capitalist businesses. We need to start doing the bare minimum at work or even withdrawing labor entirely if you are able if you work at American businesses. Those that are able should flee the US

Does classical liberalism imply democracy?

#Liberalism is divided on whether #democracy is mandatory e.g. libertarian support for non-democratic city-states. Inalienable rights settle this debate. States are either based on alienation or delegation. Inalienable rights rule out alienation. Thus all states must be democratic. Similar arguments show that all firms must be democratic as well

@npub17ss…76l0 If we take the pie to be the whole product of a firm, then in fact, 100% of it is reserved for the employing class. Workers receive none of what they produce in terms of property rights

@npub1kpw…xzz4 @npub1tps…9rmt There is a misunderstanding of how the property and contract system works here. Capital ownership does not determine firmhood. The employer gets those rights in the employer-employee contract. Capital only increases bargaining power to get favorable market contracts.
Workplace democracy is actually compatible with private ownership of the means of production. A worker coop can rent capital.
In such an economy, the employment contract is abolished
