A public system of all finances of everyone, as is done in some northern countries. Full transparency, so it can be seen who donated to whom. Additionally, no crypto must be owned. No ties to shell companies, no offshore nonsense.

In many countries, it is mandatory to sell your stock and give up bonuses before taking up the job if there is a conflict of interest.

I'd add that whoever earns a combined income higher than 9x the yearly salary of the lowest-paid labourer in their country, must be disposed of all that. Income must be tied to buying power.


But, if you ask me, I'm of the opinion that there are better measures to be taken.

What is given up should be held and owned by an independent worker's cooperative fund, that will focus on the community's wellbeing.

I myself joined a trade union, and have thought about setting up an anti-capitalist financial institution. If the Israeli could buy up Palestine, then us labourers also can buy up capitalism and defeat it by itself. We must however also defend our public wellbeing. And that means we must set up our own:

  1. Farms
  2. Industry
  3. Defence
  4. Economy
  5. Services

I firmly feel that we must establish our own mutual aid. When we no longer depend on capitalism and are secure, we have sown the roots for our independence from the oligarchs that form CEOs, landlords and private insurers.

I'm honestly at a loss on how to even begin with a response. I suppose I should have added qualifiers to my statements like "realistic" and "practical", so the fault there was definitely mine. I thought there was a chance we could have an honest and reasonable discussion, but no worries. You do you!

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
