| This question <1583|1538> overall <1584|1588> Fidel: <1583|1660>. |
| Question 612: The capitalist depends on the worker for profit, and the worker depends on the capitalist for survival. Does this mean that workers and capitalists have the same interests? |
| [1585] Fidel: I agree with [1565] that in a capitalist system the capitalist is more aggressive while the labor is in “survival” mode. In addition and not necessarily in contradiction to what you are saying I believe that the idea of capital accumulation is planted in the minds of labor and that they also have that goal but do not have the means of achieving it. This in turn psychologically enslaves labor because the desire is there and the wheels are turning but nothing is moving. |
| Hans: It is not just a psychological problem; it is their human right to have control over the noblest part of their lives, their working hours, and to have access to the natural and social resources of the society into which they are born. |
