Capitalism hurts the workers

in zappl •  7 years ago 

World-wide only about 13% of people are engaged with their work. This reduces quality of work and quality of life for everyone. This is the result of wage labor.

That's why solutions like universal basic income can help. ¨People would be able to work half time and do whatever they want with their time !

Spending almost all your life in a shitty job for nothing, thank you Capitalism

UBI poses many problems.

  1. Where do you get the taxation for it? Corporations won't pay for it, they will keep their money offshore till they can get a good taxation on it. You won't get it off working people either you might aswell just get rid of theirs.

  2. It still won't help with engagement , the work usually has to do with tasks entailed and how you are treated. Not how much you have to do, if you are truly engaged and enjoy your job you won't mind how much you have to do ahead of you.

  3. UBI doesn't fundamentally fix the problem within capitalism, if anything it will create more contradictions.

  1. It depends on the country you're in, for example in France we have a lot of different financial helps from government, all these helps could be deleted and merge into a UBI.

  2. Yes it doesn't solve the problem of engagement ...

  3. I'm not sure it will create more contradictions, because it can help fixing other problem like unemployment, people will work less but also more people will work

capitalism does need unemployment to function

Yes that is fully true, that's why the system need to be switched to an other one. A better one

which can only happen one way, revolution.

not just all of your life at a shitty job for nothing, a large amount of labor under capitalism hurts humanity

Nice
