Hat-maker Shot Dead By Turkey Farmer

Hat-maker Shot Dead By Turkey Farmer published on

That should be a comedy headline, but it’s for real. What a world it has become. This latest shooting between the right wing loons and the left wing loons? That’s what went down. A guy that raises turkeys killed a guy that used to make hats. Prole kills prole, in other words. These guys shouldn’t have been trying to kill one another over allegiance to political groups that don’t give a shit about them. They should have been teaming up to fuck up the Plutocrats… or at least making hats and raising turkeys. Instead the hat-maker is pushing up the daisies and the turkey farmer is wondering how he ended up farming himself. Sad.

But that’s what the Plutocrats want. Every bullet we waste on each other is one less bullet we spend on them. Maybe some day folks will realize that the real divide isn’t between Left and Right but between the Plutocrats and the rest of us, but Piggy isn’t holding his breath…

Good Video On Worker Co-ops.

Good Video On Worker Co-ops. published on

No, they aren’t big wooden cages where you use wire mesh to keep the workers from escaping — THAT’S called an Amazon fulfillment center! Heh, heh…

I’ve been meaning to write about things like Mondragon for a few months now but have been unable to do so due to a lifelong medical condition called chronic laziness. Therefore, this guy’s video will have to do. Worker co-ops are one of the few viable options left to the lower classes, especially as everything gets more and more automated. In twenty years, we can be unemployed and poor or unemployed and collecting the money made by the machines that took our jobs. Pretty clear which is preferable, and even though this is an idea often traced back to socialism, i don’t see how any right winger with brain cells can object. I’m sure many will try, though.

Of course, such co-ops aren’t perfect. The profit motive IS still there and so there will still be some greed. But at least this way the workers are getting a fair share of what the greed produces. Heh…
