Wishing the abolition of Usury (Profit, Rent & Interest) does not mean I wish to have a state capitalist economy (ie USSR). I wish to see all sources of profit discarded instead voluntarily, ie people systematically preventing wage-slavery from being possible.

If you think that profit is criminal, be a statist leftist and promote the confiscation of all private activities by the State!

I think the "profit is criminal" ideology of the extreme left anarchists (not the Left Libertarians) and the "profit is justified" ideology of the ancaps are both retarded.

I'm more a centrist anarchist, I think profit is a not justified VICE but not criminal. If you think that profit is criminal, be a statist leftist and promote the confiscation of all private activities by the State! If you think that profit is justified, be a statist capitalist! Both of these retarded ideologies play the game wanted by the State!

You don't own it. You are not a stakeholder. That's the end of it. There's no democracy in companies. You can't have influence over the direction of the company. You don't own it.

The more risky the job, the more pay the worker would demand. Of course this does not correspond to reality but when your logic considers that all people who work for a wage do so absolutely willingly, it's easy to reason like this The ease response to this would be that the risk of the worker is included in their wage.

More often than not workers are put in a position where they risk their health, if not their life, everyday during the duties of their jobs. Given the choice, I would much rather risk losing my money than risk being being maimed or killed and end up poor anyway since, I've now have lost the ability to work. Personally, I think having the opportunity to make a living without working yourself to death is a reward in and of itself.
