Friedrich Engels (Isaac Pontarelli)
I believe that shifting work to overseas to take advantage of cheaper labor and other countries natural resources is not the best option. This would take jobs away from the biggest social class, and leave the majority of the population unemployed and very angry. These people are already living in bad enough conditions as it is, and if their jobs are taken away only a small group of them will be able to find employment else ware, leaving the rest without hope. Is this really how we as a nation should treat our people? I believe that the best political option is to peruse communist ideals. These are the same ideals which are written in the communist manifesto, and I stick to them. If the workers have control of the production then we will prosper as a country while at the same time not causing massive numbers of people to lose their jobs.

I(Robert Owen) agree most definitely. If the people were to shift jobs overseas we would take the jobs of the lower class, and they would suffer even more than they do now. We would be taking advantage of cheap labor, and that is itself is a crime.
ReplyDeleteI somehow both agree and disagree with you. I see your point in the fact that the shift of jobs overseas would take away from our largest class in Europe, but it is also creating a large improved economy overseas, which could quite possibly help us later on because they will take part in an overseas shift as well at one point to improve their economy. Also, these people overseas will be very happy and prosperous, and after all, my main goal is to have the greater number of people be happy in this world. This idea of shifting work overseas has both supported and contradicted my idea because it can only truly benefit one side, not both.

DeleteI completely agree. There would definitely be a uprising or revolt of some sort. I would join one of these uprising because I am completely against going across seas. I don't, like many others want to move. After not moving I most likely wont even find a job. I also agree with the communist ideals, I think they fit my ideals and many other workers like myself.
