The Daily Meme #697!

The use of money makes us all exploited.

You can build a guitar.
You are a master guitar builder, it takes you less than half the time of the other guitar builders to build a guitar.
You spend x on materials.
You sell the guitar for 2x because you have to pay rent.
You sell the guitar for 10x because you have to pay rent, buy food, and pay car insurance.
You sell the guitar for 20x because that is what the general market will bear.
You sell the guitar for 35x because you are the master and folks will pay it.

I am forced by my inability to build a guitar to pay what you ask, or do without a guitar.

At what price level does it become exploitative?

I can't make a guitar.
I can't buy a guitar at the price of production.
The market price requires I exert 20x the energy that was put into the production of the guitar.
Am I exploited for my inability to build a guitar?

I am a grandma.
I can't mow the grass.
I saved my sewing money.
I can pay for the grass to be mowed.
I earned the money at half the rate I have to pay to get the grass cut.
Am I exploited for my inability to mow the yard?
Am I exploited by the banksters that inflated the currency supply forcing the cost of labor to go above what I got for my labor all those years ago?

There are many nuances to the right and wrong of crapitalism.

In freeborn anarchism I go to the getting place, if I can, or have delivered if I can't, whatever I need.
If on the day I go there, I'm social like that, there is one of your masterly produced guitars, I can have it.
If I am willing to wait in line I can order one on any day.
If I am fortunate enough to find one that was returned to the warehouse, presumably on the death of the original possessor, I take it home and cherish it as a family heirloom.
Upon my death it goes back to the warehouse, if nobody in my circle wants to be responsible for it.

Why do I do it?
Because it is what is expected of all of us from the society around us.

Why do you do it?
You want the things you can't make at the cost of production, too.

The division of labor is not going away.
The medium of exchange is changing.
When that medium becomes the love of humanity, we will know our success.

I am an exceptional kid.
I decide I want to be a chemist.
I go where I can learn chemistry.
I create x.
X makes the world a better place for every living human being.
I am quite well known.

I am an average kid.
I give my contribution in a factory repairing machines.
I do this for the suggested minimum amount of time.
I am known only to those in my immediate area.

I am a rebellious child.
I refuse to participate.
I say mean things to your face.
I say mean things behind your back.
I refuse to contribute my share.
I am a well known dissenting agitator.

Do you have any authority to use force to gain compliance from any/all of these people?
Who does?
Do you presume to know best for others?

On any given tuesday, the workers can unite, continue to produce the goods, refuse to play the money game, and the only people that get mad are those using the system to exploit us now.

Bums, rather than banksters, would become the exploiters on record.
Do we kill them?
Put them out of our misery?

These are questions for after you have decided to no longer play the money game your masters force upon us.

Are you are tired of paying your masters to bomb children in far away places?
Perhaps it is time you pushed back on that.
A simple way that anybody can do that is to hoard your coins.
The fed buys coins at face value from the mint.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets.
Stop playing in their shell game that allows them to play in the amusement parks from hell and shop in the human grocery stores.
