Nitro is waxing nostalgic for his days back in the commune. Until it went broke.
The True Kingdom of Heaven: Democracy in the workplace
- Thread starter nitro
- Start date
In my company we have setup a 'profit sharing' structure in which everyone can receive a dividend, from CTO down to warehouse guy.... but it is tied to corporate success and sales hitting revenue targets. It's not a handout.
No one voted for it. No one asked for it. I just created it.
How did I pay for it? The company takes 5% of the salesman's monthly commission and puts it into a pot that is matched by the company and distributed to the entire staff IF the company hits quarterly revenue targets. If not, the pot just grows until it happens.
What you suggest is asinine.
How many businesses have you started and sold Nitro?
If someone said that your earnings would be decided by someone that you had to train and hire -
Who in their right mind would start a business under these conditions?

Many believe greed is corruption. At any rate, Marxism technically is a method of analysis, though yes, he did publish a text recommending an economic system (which he thought inevitable anyway).
Nitro was deeply impressed by Bernie Sanders economic plans.
The left is always impressed with economic plans that involve people giving out stuff for free.
The right is always impressed with economic plans that involve them spending money from income they've just finished cutting.
May I recommend a book called The Worldly Philosophers in which Marxisim is discussed and compared to other influential economists and their core beliefs. I keep looking in Das Kapital, but there is no chapter on how to start a small business. In a perfect Marxist world all capital flows to the government who then redistributes it to the people. But there is no accounting for slippage. It is all to regulate mans greed which is accepted as normal. If man is not greedy then there is no need for Marxism.
As I mentioned, Marxism is in the main a form of analysis.
Kudos to you getting through those heavy tomes (if you really did read them, wink wink).
