quote:
So far, I know of no nation where the means of production were actually owned in common. What we have in so-called communist countries are oligarchies:
Forget about production.
What about land being common property of all?
Let businesses lease it (for free?): "use it, or loose it"
I have a journal article I was ready about agricultural production. The Soviet leaders (during the time just after the premier visited the United States in 1959) liked our agricultural methods, and used them to improve production. They felt we were superior in every way except the land and business ownership.
They increased yields tremendously after incorporating our methodology.
Land ownership is ruining the world.
In so many ways, where to begin.
One area.
High speed rail is just too expensive because of al the expensive land in places where the population is thick.
Another example: Every inch of land is claimed in every city and town. High lot prices are ruining the economy. Who says space should be claimed by people? Absurd.
USE IT OR...LOOSE IT!
China has been a shocking success due to the government having greater control over land than in (especially) India or the United States. Especially the former.
I need to check out my journal and see if the recent story is on line.
EDIT: Under government ownership,people still will be able to be paid by the government. Just like the giant Ag corporations pay people.
