    Centralization is definitely not the answer no matter the political or economic system. This we know as power corrupts no matter what.

      As if corporations dominating every aspect of our lives in the name of profit for the elites is the right solution. Get out of here with that nonsense.

        You’ve introduced the idea of corporations here. Immersive_Matthew never mentioned corporations, profit or elites. I don’t know why you’ve done that. This is a straw man.

          I might add that Immwesive_Matthew comment was also a strawman since the meme has nothing to do with centralisation in the first place.

            Maybe I misunderstood the meme, but when I see the hammer and sickle, I assumed communism which is just another type of centralization.

              Marxism-leninism is centralization - communism is a classless, stateless society, aka ultimate decentralisation

      Better in that the workers could experience more benefits from the labour they provide. Money, comfort, the ability to live their lives in a more balanced way with how much they input into the functioning of society.

        more benefits from the labour they provide

        But alas, always fewer benefits than those their lords gain from their work.

        Money, comfort, the ability to live their lives in a more balanced way with how much they input into the functioning of society.

        Being stabbed with a six inch knife rather than a twelve inch knife, I see.

        Excuse me if I’m not moved to take up arms.
