Bordiga's Prescription to Take Over The capitalist State

[liberlict]

• Disinvestment of capital, namely assignment of a much smaller part of total production to goods which are instrumental and non-consumable.
  
• Increasing the costs of production in order to be able to pay, for as long as wages, markets and money survive, higher wages for less working time.
  
• Drastic reduction of the working day, to at least half of the hours currently worked, by absorbing unemployment and anti-social activities.
  
• Reduction in the volume of production with a plan for lower production that focuses on the most necessary areas; authoritarian control of consumption to counter-act the promotion of dangerous and unnecessary goods, and the forceful abolition of activities dedicated to propagating a reactionary psychology.
  
• Rapid breaking down of business and company boundaries with the forcible transfer not of personnel but of objects of labour (productive activities), in order to move towards the new plan of consumption.
  
• Rapid abolition of welfare of a mercantile type in order to substitute it with social provision, up to an initial minimum, for non-workers.
  
• Cessation of building of houses and workplaces around cities, big and small, with a view to attaining a uniform distribution of the population in the countryside. Reduction in the congestion, volume and velocity of traffic and its prohibition when unnecessary.
  
• Resolute struggle, through abolition of careers and qualifications, against professional specialisation and the social division of labour.
  
• Obvious immediate measures, akin to the political, in order to bring schools, the press, all means of transmission, of information, and the leisure and entertainment network, under the authority of the Communist State.

Thoughts?

If you do it right, not much(just look at Countries like Denmark, Sweden, or Finland), the key is to first put the protections in place(to make sure extreme-poverty can't happen), and then start adjusting Free-Market into a Planned-Market.

And since we're already in a Planned-Market(since the FED, and Central-Banks are actually floating the Financial Markets the last 5 years) that changed isn't even that big.

The only thing that would change is the loss of fear, for the work-force, which in turn would improve economics, so more socialist-culture would actually improve consumption(a nice paradox).

Could be a starter ^^
