How many are in North Korea, Cuba, or Venezuela? Concentrated power is corrupt power. Only individual liberty with voluntary free association works long term. Power corrupts.
Ergo we should distribute said power as evenly as we possibly can amongst all the workers of a given society... Concentrated power is the bread and butter of capitalism, after all...
For example: Wouldn't you say a country that has the highest literacy rate in all of the Americas, that has the highest rate of home-ownership in that same continent, that has the highest doctor-per-capita rate of the _planet_, is doing a pretty good job at distributing power amongst the citizenry? I'd say so... (Btw that country isn't Canada, and if you thought it was the USA, go see a doctor...)
"Free association" is just an euphemism for "rich people can do whatever the hell they want" in bourgeoisie democracy, my friend.
There's more people going to sleep without shelter tonight in a single city block of LA than in the entirety of the Cuban isle... But that's just those poor drug-addicted people exercising their "right to free association", amirite? :)
"A systemic subversion over decades by communists"...
Tell me, comrade, how many means of production are in the hands of workers in this "subverted" Capitalist World Order you seem to believe in?
And how many are in the hands of old, useless, rich white men that haven't worked for decades?
Please add 'em up and get back to me, cheers!
"What's funny about rich people complaining that poor people don't work and are a drain on society is that every rich person does negative work.
That is, it takes far more work to accommodate their life than their labor could possibly produce. They are the real drain on society."
