I’m all for higher minimum wages, unions, paid leaves and other forms of worker protection, but it seems like the most forms of worker protection focus on maintaining a division between an employer(s) who owns the business and the employee who makes money for the business but does not own it. IMO, this division is unethical and exploitative because it denies the worker the full value of their work.
Are there any political or social movements that push for policy or legislation that makes all businesses to be worker owned cooperatives?
I know that was sarcastic, but I’ll answer it seriously.
We are all part of the same society, and segregating people by what they do or can pay for doesn’t change that, it only makes the society that we all live in worse for everyone.
Oh I totally agree. Even the most ardent libertarian goes “well roads and military don’t count.” I’m just applying a typical conservative talking point about basically any service the public relies on.
Just chiming in to say this is very much not true. I’ve had conversations with dozens of libertarians about how roads/the military should be privatized
