Fuck Western corporations, and fuck their neo-colonial exploitation of the Chinese working class!

"I'm not saying the guys at the top shouldn't be filthy rich...I just think we shouldn't have any sweatshops anywhere..." - Bill Burr is relatively progressive, but clearly not radical enough or revolutionary, because frankly no-one should be super-rich, period, no matter who they are.

Yeah, that point was kind of stupid (considering NONE of the people getting the huge bucks are innovating anything), but other than that, a pretty good rant.

Of course, but even those who did genuinely innovate (e.g. top engineers) shouldn't get super-fat pay cheques either.

Lenin proposed a maximum income difference of 4 times, and I thought you anarchists would be even more radical on this.

They should'nt, and they don't, they do pretty well though as they should, but so should the people that actuallly produce.

I think compensation (in a socialist society, not a communist one), should be something that is democratically decided.

So if all the workers in the company thinks the engineer should get more then he should, if they don't then he should'nt.

It always seem to me that american progressive are leftist with a a good framework of idea, but are fundamentally scared of going further left for some reason, maybe they are just scared of being labelled commies, who know?

The only american progressive that i know who is fully consistent is Mike Malloy, he seem to be the only one who dosnt give a flying fuck of being called a commie or a socialist and is mercyless when it come to criticize capitalism.
