    With the proliferation of automated production combined with a rapidly increasing population, limiting the maximum work week (where practically possible), that employers could force employee’s to take (so not including voluntary overtime), could be one of many possible solutions to rises in unemployment, by artificially increasing the amount of workers a business would need to hire to maintain productivity, while simultaneously allowing those workers a greater amount of time to themselves to do with as they wish.









  • Not sure where your source comes from, as you havent cited anything, but it doesn’t even give a definition for the term.

    It is just a vague statement about a proletarian government needing to be organised in a way that allows it to govern well and actually do stuff to prevent a bourgeois counter revolution.

    Yes, that describes China’s actions, as they are very effective at governing, and purging bourgeois influence when it becomes a threat. but that alone isn’t anything concerning. Hell, I’d be concerned if they weren’t doing what is described above, as that would mean that they’re a sham and have betrayed the proletariat.

    Anyways, back onto definitions, according to Frederick Engles in his work ‘on authority’, the dictatorship of the proletariat is a society in which the proletariat is the class that holds state power, unlike the dictatorship of capital that we see today in western countries, in which it is the bourgeois capitalists that are in possession of said state power.

    I will continue to throw shade until your questions become valid, and your evidence isnt cherry picked from your arse.
