OT: Plan for 10-hour working week with 75% paycut under Labour

[Chris Hogg]

Is this for real!? Socialism at its most extreme if it is. Only Stalin could have come up with anything remotely close.

[Brian Gaff]

Don't know but it looks to me that the way automation and AI is making inroads to jobs, in the end the world may have to have a system where the companies use no people but give everyone a living wage as a tax otherwise the system will fall apart. If nobody works or has money who would buy what is made? Brian

[Steve Walker]

But then are we going to have different payments depending upon intelligence, talent and qualifications or will it become pointless making any effort to better yourself?

The strong and the lawless who make their money while supplying the drugs that keep the meek and weak under control and in their place.

Yes it would. That's how socialism works.

[Brian Reay]

Of course.

Diane Abbott has done the coatings.

They are just going to tax the ?rich? (definition- anyone with more than they have- they being the dumb voters) and make up the missing money in benefits.

Everyone will be happy.

Remember other great Socialist ideals like the Khmer Rouge, National Socialist German Workers' Party........

There are plenty of dopes out there will believe him and vote for him so they can sit on their arses. Socialists love to sit on their arses and live off of other people.

Votes can be bought.

In some places, the employer is lucky to get 10 hours of work in a week out of the employees.

[The Natural Philosopher]

It has been since the 1970s anyway.

[Jimbo]

That?s bullshit with doctors, engineers, nurses, teachers etc etc etc.

Glad you've finally realised that appalling management has been at the root of this country's problems for some time.

[Richard]

Certainly,

Labour run council

[Richard]

Fuck off Rod.

[The Natural Philosopher]

No. it isn't.

AS member of that group I can confirm that.

[The Natural Philosopher]

There was a lovely comment that I saw in as a video clip.

Referring to Venezuela where people are being told to eat their pet rabbits etc.

?Socialism always begins with a universal vision for the brotherhood of man and ends with people having to eat their own pets.?

[Jimbo]

Just because you are a failure doesn?t mean that all those other doctors, engineers, nurses and teachers were just as hopeless as you.

And I am a member of that group too.

[Jimbo]

It didn?t in Norway. It delivered them a much better result than the UK got.

[Tim Streater]

Norway is not a socialist country.
