SLP Socialist Labor Party of America
I just pulled out an old lp 1960 SLP of America National Convention. They have an slp .org up now. They speak about a classless society - dream on..., and about production for use - not sale or profit.
I find it hard to wrap my brain cells around that. How would anyone be paid? I suppose pay is not part of the system. You wake up - go to your production facility - work your shift and then go to your home...with no bills to worry about.
How is this system panning out in nations currently doing it? Anybody know? I imagine it is a failure. I look at places like Russia and China and still see lots of class divisions.
I suspect this is the direction our next president wants to take the US. You hear a lot in the media about corporate unfairness...CEO's earn in 10 minutes what one of their laborers earns in a year. The media is accentuating the class struggle.
You hear how Hillary Care wants to provide us with a gov run medical system. How she wants those corporate profits to do this, that, and the other. This is the same as SLP. I wonder if any of her campaign contributions come from the SLP? At the same time the Clinton's will bank a few million in profits lifting them to an even higher class than those who elect her. No worry. Hillary will take care of you.
Here's my beef - what's wrong with using a pay system? I get it... the person paid $7-10 an hour to hand out big macs wants to be paid the same as the person cleaning poop out of septic tanks. Septic tank pumpers make between $15-30 dollars an hour and more if you own the business. I don't think a big mac handler is worth that much at all. Try to find someone to pump crapola for $6-10 an hour in the US or Canada.
So placing these 2 on a level playing field wrt earnings is laughable. There are even better contrasts and comparisons I'm sure you will find. But then just maybe I am not seeing what more there is to the Marxist bigger picture. Can someone help me see the light?
