Thank you for the post. According to communist theory, capitalist
societies tend to take an oppressive and predatory attitude towards
those skilled workers who have the most unpleasant jobs. The oppressive
attitude and predatory tactics are proportional to the requisite skill,
training, and unpleasentness of the job.
Why do capitalist societies do the same? Because they want to keep
wages, working conditions, and job security low.
With 40% of nurses in the USA now foreign born, it can be readily be
seen that health care employers, with the assistance of government,
have taken extreme steps to maintain low wages, poor working
conditions, and poor job security for nurses.
I am definitely not a communist. In fact, I guess you could call me
part conservative and part libertarian. It is my opinion that the two
party "winner take all" form of electoral representation in the USA is,
in part, responsible for the current poor labor conditions for workers
in the USA.
Therefore, the USA should replace it's "winner take all" form of
electoral representation with some form of "proportional electoral"
respresentation, if the American worker and the American people are to
have both economic and political justice. |
