A simple argument shows that capitalism is theft and workers’ inalienable right to workplace democracy - 35 minute video
“David Ellerman: Neo-Abolitionism: Towards Abolishing the Institution of Renting Persons”
The talk argues that employment contract is invalid due to inalienable rights. Inalienable means can’t be given up even with consent. Workers’ inalienable rights are rooted in their joint de facto responsibility for all production in the firm
Yes, I’ve seen that argument against capitalism as a 4 panel comic in many forms over the past year on Lemmy but I can’t find it now.
I think even the Everett True Lemmy has had done it.
I have never found a meme that suitably emphasizes the responsibility aspect. Responsibility plays an essential role in the underlying argument due to the peculiarity that responsibility can’t be transferred from person to person even with consent. You find memes about workers deserving the entire value of their labor, but none that emphasize responsibility and workers’ property rights to the literal produced outputs and liabilities for the used-up inputs rather than just their value
