Is holocracy one piece of the puzzle? In watching this, though, I wondered whether someONE(S) didn't have to set the initial direction. But an interesting experiment.

Okay, but if you think that I'm affluent, you're mistaken. I'm poor. It isn't just the upper classes who doubt the feasibility of collectivism or limits on income.

Or at least $22/hr, henceforth indexed to inflation.

OK, this is the crux of it all:

JollyRoger is 100% right

Aaron is 100% wrong

Someone who makes more money than he spends is not going to pour more money into the economy no matter how much extra he gets. He is NOT going to be a "job creator" as the republicans love to say. He is going to sit on it and figure out ways to avoid taxes on that same amount of money.

Someone who is just making ends meet who gets more money will spend it...on extra groceries, clothing, and other discretionary purchases. This will increase demand for these items and will drive the economy in a positive way.

The "trickle down " bullshit has been disproven. The foundation of this country has to be strong, and that comes from the majority. The majority of people has been usurped by the majority of wealth-owners and it is an unhealthy and top-heavy mess that is ready to collapse on itself.

The he very sad thing is this: the Jolly- Rogers won't win. Ultimately the Aaron's will lose too, because our country will fail, but the Aaron's will not care, because it will be their progeny who will be jumping out of Wall Street windows and the Aaron's will have had a good run, which is all that matters.

In reply to a private worker owned co-op

Actually, you're describing "market socialism", which is still considered socialism.

But I'll concede that a bunch of worker owned cooperatives wouldn't be community ownership.
