#Capitalism is the worker who doesn't own their own method of production. Their boss, the #capitalist, owns the machine or tool which the #worker uses to make products or deliver services.

This is true in free-market capitalism, #socialism and #communism.

What makes socialism different to communism, is that communists want to achieve their goals with #dictatorship and #suppression, and socialists with #democracy, #representation and personal freedom

Day 31 cont 🗳️🤪

The LNP has a candidate problem cont:

“The #LiberalParty plans to take the #BoroondaraCityCouncil to court to stop it from removing the signs of #Kooyong candidate #AmeliaHamer, the second sign-related squabble to erupt in the affluent Melbourne seat.

The #escalation comes after a #worker from the council, which the #Liberals say is friendly to #independent MP #MoniqueRyan, was filmed confiscating a Liberals sign reading "Monique, please DO NOT take this sign!".”

It's important, now more than ever, that we build #mutualaid networks and #worker strength. Join a union, help out a neighbour, build community spaces. #BuyFromEU should be building an economy that support #europeans not one that supports massive billion-euro corps.

We've seen what massive corporate wealth leads to in the american #tech #oligarchs. Let's not make the same mistake here.

Power to the people, not to the state. Not to the corp.

To my #American friends, the ones who live in the #USA or #US for short.

Y de fuq are people associating #republicans with #worker plight?

Why is the party of #oligarchy associated with the fight against the #elites when they basically suckle at the teet of elites?

It's because #liberals, born of the #Liberalists, siblings to the #conservatives are happy about the status quo and want to keep it that way.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the liberals in the Dems ARE the enemy.

Canal & River Trust will put this barge in the water, today.

I'm always surprised at how many workers it takes to do CRT work.

In November I saw eight workers at a lock, 1 using a measuring tape to check the dimensions of a gate, and 7 chatting.

Today, it's 1 to operate the crane, 2 to hold ropes to the barge, 2 to run tugs, 5 to stand and chat.

And they've been here for hours with the barge, waiting for the crane.
