Yeah perfection would be public ownership of all companies and a ~$60/hr minimum wage pre-tax. stalin chad

60 feels a little low, can we increase it some?

[–] iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually probably not haha. If you perfectly split all the value made in America as of now, it would come out to something close to $60.

Yes, but we have to remove the excess wealth from the capitalists somehow

And those $60 bucks just for luxury with all essential stuff like housing, electricity, internet, heating and food already guaranteed by the community.
