... want a four hour working day.

You say it's Ok, because you will receive the equivalent pay for a full eight hours.

Well isn't that clever! But I have a better idea! Why don't you just stop work alltogether! and it will still be OK because you'll receive your eight hours pay free of charge right?

More seriously are you guys even aware how much poverty you and indeed society would be in if this were taken seriously? I doubt it. Its' only me me me with you unionists right?

[Forward Union]

Many members of the IWW want to abolish work and have a no hour day. But your silly head can't possibly come to terms with that.

Very amusing :lol: That doesn't surprise me in the least. Lets stop production and let the cash roll in. Now why didn't my silly head I think of that before?

Who said anything about stopping production? we also wish to abolish money. But like I said, you won't get it :P

Do you work an 8 hour day?

We wish to extend workers control over the means of production. Poverty will not be an issue once this happens.

But you and your bourgeois friends already have that covered! :lol:

We are the working class, we decide how much work we will be doing.

And it's only you,you,you with you cappies right?

Obviously, improving the lives of the people just doesn't make any sense to you.

I've already explained this a few times in different sections, but here. I'll do it again.

We (The USA) are currently spending 11 billion dollars every year on services that would be redundant (advertising, marketing, administration, law, etc) in a Libertarian society (2001, after 9/11). We have ~7.4% (may be different, thats what it was the last time I checked, May 2006 stats) of our population unemployed. If these people were given jobs that actually did something... a 4 hour work week is perfectly acceptable. Heck, we would probably be producing too much.

[Krypto-Communist]

I realize that this is a blatant ad-hominem attack but I think this guy deserves it...

What a friggin idiot!

Why do all reactionary capitalist supporters immediately equate communism and laziness? If anybody is to be rightfully tagged as lazy, it's the owners of capital and the people who were born into wealth, comfort and privalege. How much work do they conduct throughout their lives?

Is Paris Hilton donning a pair of steel toed boots right now?

[General Patton]

I am all for letting these baffoons work a four hour day if that's what they want. In reality, it would probably be better if they didn't come to work at all, because they are clearly incompetent and probably stubble around getting in the way of people who are actually working. Productivity would probably increase as well as profits if these guys were promptly sh*t canned. If they infected my business establishment, I know I wouldn't tolerate that kind of stupidity.

[Krypto-Communist]

if a four hour day is necessary and the society in question has the labor capacity, the technology to meet all of their needs, and no ruling class to support (and then some)...why not? what would be the point of working an eight hour day if it isn't necessary?


, because they are clearly incompetent and probably stubble around getting in the way of people who are actually working.

Well, if these buffoons are working 4 hours a day, then that wouldn't make them incompetent and lazy now would it?


people who are actually working.

Yeah, like Paris Hilton and Ashley simpson right?


If they infected my business establishment, I know I wouldn't tolerate that kind of stupidity.

I know, I feel your pain man...fucking workers demanding rights. How dare they do that!

A very naive concept of freedom that you have mr patton.

Over productivity can cause profits to drop as well.

And another thing, why is your avatar that of a bloody massacred baby?

[Zero]

He probably finds it funny.

[loveme4whoiam]

I've wanted to ask that ever since I first saw it. What the hell is that about?

A four-hour day is perfectly rational, and popular with those that have broken out of the mindset that capitalists have forced into them. So popular, in fact, that Gen. Patton should feel a wee bit nervous. Oh no, thats right - as soon as they show signs of develops their own opinions or questioning your orders, you'll kick them out on their asses, right?
