POLI 1100 Lecture Notes - Wage Labour, Productive Forces, Economic Democracy
Document Summary
Socialist aspect- economic democracy and production (echoes of marx & bernstein & mill) The economic sphere would have some principals that work should have some incentives more than money and survival; it should be self directed not directed. The economy is a major power in democratic society; the power is not shared equally. People should be in charge rather than property/ownership being in charge. If we appear the seek the unattainable, as it has been said, then let it be known that we do so to avoid the unimaginable. If we think that participatory democracy is impossible then we will just accept the existing form of unparticaptory democracy production. A way that some indigenous produced collectively, before the rise of modern industrialism. Feudalism also a mode of production (productive relationship between classes) Capitalism (wage labour relationships between employers and workers) Marx believe communism could make a distinct mode of production.
