Tomorrow is May Day. International Labor Day commemorates the famous event of the Chicago workers' strike on May 1, 1886, for an 8-hour workday.
Every time this time comes, you will see some Turkish and Austrian economics big Vs come out to advocate the abolition of labor laws and the realization of a completely free employment system.
Economic theories all have butts. Economists and big Vs definitely have butts. Carefully hiding their butts does not mean that they have no butts. As long as they speak and post, their butts will be exposed.
The butts of Turkish and Austrian economics big Vs generally sit on the side of capitalists or business owners. So it should be regarded as the accurate label given by Mr. Lu Xun - "the lackluster running dogs of capitalists." Mr. Lu Xun pointed out sharply: "Any running dog, although it may be raised by one capitalist, actually belongs to all capitalists, so it is docile to all rich people and barks wildly to all poor people. Not knowing who its master is is the reason why it is docile to all rich people, which is also the evidence that it belongs to all capitalists. Even if no one raises it, it is starving and skinny, and becomes a wild dog, it is still docile to all rich people and barks wildly to all poor people, but at this time it is even less clear who is the master." As for the logic argued by the big V that the 5-day 8-hour work system will eventually lead to trade wars or even hot wars, it is completely wrong. On the contrary, it is excessive overtime and overproduction that force capitalists to seek to open up overseas markets, thus causing global colonial wars from the 17th to the 19th century.
Human production can be simply divided into three stages:
The first stage is to make food, clothing, housing and daily necessities for yourself. Just eat enough and have enough. Don't compete with anyone.
The second stage is to produce to meet the needs of others. I am good at making cakes, and my neighbors and neighbors love to buy them, and even export them overseas. As long as someone likes to eat them, I will expand production until the market is saturated.
The third stage is to produce for profit (money). I am already the big boss of a multinational cake company. I don't care whether the cakes I make are eaten by anyone. As long as I can sell them without losing money (with profit), I will keep producing and even continue to expand production capacity. If you don't buy my cakes, I will rack my brains to make trouble, such as opening the market by force, seeking legislation from Congress, such as the "3 cakes per person per meal bill", and excluding other food producers, sponsoring universities to publish papers advocating the benefits of eating cakes, in short, all the purposes are to make consumers eat more cakes, eat less or even not eat other foods.
There are three very clear problems that anyone can understand:
First, production for profit will inevitably lead to overproduction regardless of demand.
Second, financial credit (lending money to enterprises to expand production) will accelerate the speed of production towards overproduction.
Third, it is precisely the overproduction in the third stage that will lead to trade conflicts, wars and imperialism.
Yes, the third stage is the "capitalist mode of production".
In this mode of production, capitalists are like madmen who rush into memes, and they rush into production crazily wherever they see huge profits.
The final result is that tens of thousands of memes are issued every day, and the supply is oversupplied. Most of them end up with a mess and eventually return to zero.
If you have hoarded BTC, you will have a better understanding: the most valuable things are actually strictly limited, and scarcity brings value.
Desperately expanding production is like the craze for memes. It seems that getting rich is just around the corner, but in fact, the value is quickly diluted due to excessive and indiscriminate issuance.
Capitalists produce for profit, just like the crazy people who create memes.
Coincidentally, like creating memes, both are negative and involutionary. The negative and involution of the capitalist mode of production is the overproduction generally recognized by modern economics, which means that if you produce something but cannot sell it, you will lose money.
I wonder if you have noticed what is the most critical difference that determines the leap from the second stage to the third stage of the mode of production?
Yes, it is "for people" or "for money".
Before the second stage, production was still humanistic.
From the third stage, production has become capitalism.
This is the famous philosophical proposition: Is man the end or the means?
The answer to the capitalist mode of production is unequivocal: man is the means to achieve profit (money).
Thus, money, from a tool to satisfy man’s needs, has become the master of man.
Man has become a tool for money to multiply, and has become a beast of burden.
Man is a beast of burden, and is actually worse than a beast of burden.
After all, real cows and horses don’t have to spend their own money to eat feed and live in sheds, but workers have to spend their own money on food, rent, take out loans to buy houses, and entertain themselves at their own expense, fatten themselves, burn their hearts, and work overtime, just to create more profits (money) for the boss.
What capitalists fear most is that workers lie down. Because once everyone lies down, no one will help them produce profits.
So the financial freedom of cows and horses is a very scary thing.
If everyone is financially free, who will be the cows and horses?
Therefore, advocating financial freedom where everyone can become a capitalist without doing any work and living on profits is probably a tax on IQ and a harvester.
Teaching you how to get rich is not for you to get rich, but for the people who teach you to get rich.
This is the real logic.
Perhaps a reasonable logic of financial freedom is to work for ten years and be free for a lifetime.
Perhaps if productivity is higher, work for one year and be free for a lifetime?
So at this historical stage that cannot be crossed, how can workers break through?
In fact, you just need to see more clearly.
The world is a circle.
What the capitalists exploited you, you take back from the other end.
The teaching chain never tires of talking about the logic of capitalists and capitalist production, just to remind readers to look at the problem from a higher level and dimension.
Since the capitalists are too clever and are just a madman who rushes to meme, then you should understand wisely, how can you reap the benefits of the negative and involuted meme army?
Are you involved in the internal circulation?
If you are the king of the internal circulation, then there is no problem. Just be willing to accept the loss.
Or you are the dealer who operates the market. Then you will be the harvester.
But what if you are just an ordinary person?
The answer found by Jiaolian is to use the inherent weaknesses of overproduction, over-issuance and capital madness to steadily hold the most scarce thing relative to everything:
BTC (big cake).
For this reason, Jiaolian summed up a sentence: All the surplus belongs to Dabing.
Stock up on Dabing and lie down on May 1st.
