Marxist Analysis of Economic Crisis

[Mr.De-Regulation]

of course the fact that workers wages, in real terms, haven't increased in the last 30 years.

What? AS a young boy I remember being screwed over time and time again by the unions. Not once did the government rise to defend the ordinary citizen against the red terror.

Updated with the addition of an audio talk by Andrew Kilman, along with an article. Dont know what its like as my speakers are broke on the computer, so let us know if its any good if you get round to listening to it.

As a young boy you should not have been working. If it wasn't for Unions, would you have;
Holiday Pay, O/T Rates, H&S Legislation, Minimum Wage,Sick Pay, Redundancy Payments, (Handy these days), etc.etc.etc. All initiated and negotiated by Unions.

Oh I forgot, by your reasoning you would have got all the above through Govt. and the Employers. Don't make me LAUGH.

ARRRRGHHHH!!! Anything with an -ism on the end is bound to fail. Why don't people get that??? It's not about the "system". It's about the people. We have it arse-ways. Replacing it with another arse-ways system will fail as well, of course.

so we replace it with nothing... i've suggested it here http://www.politics.ie/economy/44223-money-2-a.html

its an alternative...
