    —“Working time. In France, the legal length of the working week is 35 hours in all types of companies. The working day may not exceed 10 hours.”—

    This strategy is fine if you adopt the japanese method of automation, and retain ethnocentrism. (which the USA needs to do for food). France’s unemployment on average is higher than the USA during the crash. And it takes a lot of employed people to pay for every single unemployed person’s benefits.

    by Bill Joslin

    As far as I know, the difference between guilds and unions is that guilds worked in both directions (internal-external). they policed the reputation (value) of the guild by training and policing merit within their ranks (the internally facing focus) as well as negotiated with the employers (collective bargaining i.e. external focused activiry)

    where as fraternities looked to insure their own against misfortune (pass the hat to help members in need) as well as policed membership (shine shame those acting immorally). i.e. and two way focus – internal-external. and they didnt seek to provide this insurance beyond their membership (provide what insurance they could by what resources the could collect internally)

    unions only focus externaly. they seek resources from the.employer based on moral justifications for “workers rights” opposed to insuring quality workers. i.e. they don’t bring anything to trade with outside of the threat of state enforced boycott). and don’t ensure quality of work via the merit of their membership but rather replace merit with seniority (disenframchises the most capable of the younger members, who generally then leave to either contract as independents and eventually start their own businesses – i.e. unions incentives the flight of their best and brightest out of their ranks).

    its an imbalance of malincentives offset by moral posturing.

    in other words – guilds and fraternities responded to and use market forces, while unions insulate from market forces.

    think of it this way – a.union which ensures they have the best and brightest within an industry brings to the table something of value to negotiate with employers.

    a union that only brings to the table the option of state enforced boycott equates to extortion.

    ive had many conversations with both owners and tradesmen in the toronto construction market, about establishing a guild, where by membership requires one to maintain a quality of service and skill – if you don’t meet this requirement, or deviate from guild approved best practices, then you’re tossed out.

    by doing so the guild represents quality control of the workforce, in exchange they can then demand better treatment of workers.

    in short, unions do not offer reciprocity.

    guilds as i envision it would be based squarely on reciprocity.

    reciprocity

    reciprocity

    reciprocity.

    Curt Doolittle – might be something of interest here. i.e. how unions would be transformed by reciprocity.

    GUILDS AND MANAGERIAL CLASS?

    by Bill Joslin

    Guilds acted as a counter balance to managerial classes.

    A manager didn’t obtain trade or craft specific knowledge. When asking a craftsman “how long for this?” or “how much material for that?”,the manager stood at the mercy of the craftsman’s knowledge. The manager had no way of calculating if the craftsman lied or not.

    In this relationship, the craftsman and guilds they belonged too, could use this barrier of knowledge to protect their own interests (or to abuse managerial ignorance)

    the introduction of stop-watch managers allowed the managerial class to break down the craftsman skill into menial tasks any 200 pound gorilla could perform with minimal training or knowledge. (mechanization did this too)

    this transferred productivity from skilled workers to unskilled workers and broke down the barrier of knowledge that counter balanced managerial incentives.

    It also transferred productivity from the middle to the lower classes.

    …and the result was a void in protecting worker interests.

    marx then applies lower class preference for sour grapes to inter class negotiation… and underclass, left unable to protect their interests because they had nothing to trade (skill) in negotiation with their uppers, lapped it up.

    The trade unions, armed with marxist sophistry, filled the gap which was left by the destruction of the guilds and traditional craftsman knowledge.

    THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, EQUALITY CLAUSE

    A look into the thoughts of Thomas Jefferson

    By JWarren Prescott

    The declaration of independence’ equality clause refers to the equality of self-evident, unalienable (natural) rights among people – it does not mean anything beyond that.

    Natural rights of namely, Life, Liberty and Property. (and those rights derived from these such as self-preservation and defense)

    It does not mean that men and women should earn the same amount for the same work. It does not mean that we should initiate social reforms to assure affirmative action or racial quotas. And, it certainly does not mean that everyone is gonna get (or entitled to) the same opportunities as your neighbor. These are not rights, but they are coercion for resources.

    Jefferson was was very precise with his language and wrote the Declaration of Independence to make the case to england about the philosophical justification for secession and independence. he anticipated the counter argument from the royalist perspective, i.e. the divine right of kings.

    This is why he when to the philosophical basis of rights and that is natural law – in this natural state, there is no distinction of race, class or status. John Locke and Hobbes were influential in Jefferson’s thoughts on this.

    I would also say that Jefferson was shaking with fear as he was writing to the King. England was just about the strongest nation in the world and here is Jefferson assigned the duty to word a document in just the right way to make a logical and reasonable case and not be hung at the post…. Class, race or sex was the furthest thing from his mind.

  • RETURN TO COMMUNISM VS NAZIISM AS THE BASIS OF ARGUMENTATIVE EXTREMES by James L

    RETURN TO COMMUNISM VS NAZIISM AS THE BASIS OF ARGUMENTATIVE EXTREMES

    by James Louis LaSalle

    As psychotically obsessed the Left is with racism, Nazis, and white supremacists, the Right should be just as obsessed with communism.

    To the point where we shouldn’t even acknowledge it when they say anything about racism, Nazis, or white supremacists.

    Ignore it completely.

    And don’t even be subtle about it. If a Leftist asks you if you’re a Nazi or some nonsense like that, don’t say a word about it; change the subject to the evils of communism immediately.

    “Are you a Nazi?”

    “Did you know communism was responsible for over 100 million deaths in the 20th century?”

    “What? I asked you if you were a Nazi. Answer the question!”

    “You know, the concept of a “means of production” is a total reification fallacy. It’s the human mind that decides whether things have value or not. That’s why communism is always communal ownership of the means of production in theory and state ownership of human beings in practice. Because human beings ARE the means of production.”

    Leftist: Why do you keep talking about communism? I’m trying to talk to you about the evils of Nazism!

    Rightist: Why don’t you want to talk about the evils of communism? Are you a communist? Do you support communism?

    Play their game against them, and be better at

    it.

    There have been many comments from the usual quarters about the supposed illegitimacy of putting the “alt right” and “antifa” on “the same moral plane.”

    But mostly, Alt-right and Antifa ARE on the same moral plane, the moral plane where you use force to counter an existential threat to you and to your group.

    The main difference is a factual one, not a moral one, in that alt-right represents normalcy to excellence, while Antifa represents defective and inferior people. The former can, in principle, be victorious, while the latter can never be. Even if they, Antifa, communists, degenerates, win, they still lose, because it is not merely superior people against whom they rebel, but the reality of their own inadequacy; which ever remains.

    Once they destroy their betters, antifa will have no one left to parasitize, and they, too, shall perish. Their grasping, covetous, and insatiable appetites are just as real as their inability to satisfy them without seeking discounts at the expense of others, more capable.

    But they have no choice but to try, because meritocracy, accountability, and responsibility in the face of abler competitors would prove just as lethal to them as devouring those finally and completely.

    Without knowing it, without being able to moderate themselves, they are actually trying to straddle these extremes to the only evolutionary strategy that can sustain them, parasitism that is not severe enough to kill their only food source.

    But don’t expect them to realize that. And there is nothing to lose by simply wiping them out, as one would any other species of pest.

    (There is a moral difference between parasites and producers.)

  • Economics of Consumption Is by Definition Leftist

    [S]overeignty demands Reciprocity, where demand for Reciprocity includes all demonstrated interests, whether bodily, family, physical, normative, traditional, informational, or the civic and political institutions that defend them. To reinforce the intuition that productivity isn’t observable with a bit more edge: westerners produce commons that other people cannot produce, and we do by NOT DOING evil: lying, misleading, cheating, stealing, free riding, corruption, as much as what we DO: Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Heroism. So economists (all of whom are leftists) only measure individual consumer goods, not the production of commons: truth, honesty, integrity, contract, quality, civility, responsibility – which is what makes western civilization unique. We don’t live in a world where there is a problem of consumption – we have just enabled the world to stampede on a path to hyper-consumption – even of the commons we alone can make, which made their hyper-consumption possible.
