Notes

Amount: 12

• Capitalism forces the worker to give up much of what they produce
• Since every creation is the culmination of countless contributors, no single individual should be able to claim it as their own
• Humanity is only poor because the products of our labor are seized by a few owners
• People go without because the bourgeois will limit production in order to keep prices up
• A lot of work in a capitalist system is wasted on useless products
• A lot of the means of production stand idle because people can’t get those jobs
• Capital and the means of production must become common property in order to achieve well being for all
• Every product is to some extent dependent on the external community
• A communist society would be forced to immediately abandon all wage systems
• Communist tendencies can be seen in all individualist societies
• Individualist societies still have many services that do not measure individual consumption or contribution to society before use
• Organization would be more efficient and less constraining without government intervention
