Zo's latest rant.

Wage slavery

Wage slavery refers to a situation where a person is dependent for a livelihood on the wages earned, especially if the dependency is total and immediate. The term is used to draw an analogy between slavery and wage labor. Some uses of the term may refer only to an "[un]equal bargaining situation between labor and capital," particularly where workers are paid unreasonably low wages (e.g. sweatshops). More controversially, others equate it with a lack of workers' self-management or point to similarities between owning and employing a person, and extend the term to cover a wide range of employment relationships in a hierarchical social environment with limited job-related choices (e.g. working for a wage under threat of starvation, poverty or social stigma).

Similarities between wage labor and slavery were noted at least as early as Cicero and Aristotle. With the advent of the industrial revolution, thinkers such as Proudhon and Marx elaborated these comparisons in the context of a critique of property not intended for active personal use. Before the American Civil War, Southern defenders of African American slavery also invoked the concept of wage slavery to favorably compare the condition of their slaves to workers in the North.

Zo seems to be missing the point of healthcare as a universal right or as a luxury of having a good job. It's like he doesn't realize the thin line between working for money and working because master will kill you if you don't.

And stop blamin Repubs for the failure of Deathcare, the Dems had a majority & didn't really need their support. Yep, the Dems knew this plan sucked.

Woow what a loser, this brother is soooooo misguided it's really tragic. The reason for the knock on Palin is because a grown woman says things like, " I can see Russia from my backyard", and doesn't say it in a joking manner. I understand some of Obama's views aren't widely accepted but my question is, " Why do everything Repugs disagree with in terms of policy, AUTOMATICALLY equate to being a SOCIALISTIC agenda? Repugs praise capatalism but it's not really capitalism. Sure you can do well but only the selected few with close ties to the powerful get to achieve great things. Everyone else is just in a rat race. Of course aside from the entertainers, athletes, and loto winners.

Why do everything Repugs disagree with in terms of policy, AUTOMATICALLY equate to being a SOCIALISTIC agenda?

The idea is to win, at damn near any cost.

One way to win is to get the people to rally around what you're saying/doing and against what your opponent is saying/doing.

What do people FEAR, HATE or DETEST ??? It doesn't matter whether the person or idea being attacked actually fits the description of the thing feared, hated or detested.

Many, if not most, people (the masses) may not have a real understanding of the thing feared, hated or detested:

• They can't always clearly define it;

• They typically don't know its origins and history; and

• They typically can't explain how it works or hurts/helps them.

BUT, if you invoke the thing (by saying the word, showing the picture, etc.), people's autonomic response to the stimuli usually kicks right in, like Pavlov's dog.

<font size="3">So,</font size> for everything your opponent does, stands for or imagines: paint it as the feared, hated or detested thing. It doesn't have to be true, if you say it, most times, the autonomic response will kick right in. People rarely research or try to find out whether its true or not.

You say the word "socialism" -- and many people are ready with the evil eye towards the person or ideas "said" to be socialist, even though they may themselves be the recipients of something of value from the government, but call it something different.
