Traditionally the leftists were anti-war, anti-escalation and pro-peace. Rightists supported interventionism because anti-communism.

Nowadays the leftists seem to have adopted the traditional rightist position of interventionism, of absolute defense of [bourgeoisie] democracy, of being the world police, of being pro-military industrial complex, of seeking escalation with China.

The rightists support detente with China and Russia and isolationism. Different from 1960s leftists but I'd say they [rightists] actually support the right things for the wrong reasons.

Traditionally the leftists were populists, anti-establishment and the rightists were conservatives, elitists and pro-establishment.

Nowadays the left is pro-megacorp, pro-establishment and pro-DNC, they stand with the mainstream tech megacorp interests and look down upon poor rural workers. The rightists have framed themselves as "dissident" and "anti-establishment" instead, using a populist rhetoric... Sadly, in a totally wrong direction.

Traditionally the leftists are culturally progressive and rightists culturally conservative. This has remained the same more or less, but is also starting to see reversal: the mainstream American left seems to start supporting "progressivism for Westerners only". They regularly make racist stereotypes of non-western countries, and apparently being racist towards non-western (esp. Chinese) people became a "progressive" thing because they're "not civilized" and "not progressive" and "not open-minded" enough. The far-right started to claim China to be "based" and sympathise with non-western people, but again, for totally wrong reasons.

I'd say the American "left" now is the right of the 1970s [except for cultural issues like LGBTQ+ rights and feminism], and the American right are a bunch of third positionist literal fascists.

What are the steps needed to overthrow the government? What would a modern revolution look like? What would unite the "right" and "left" winged people together in order to be in agreement of a socialist government?

Workers make the world run & workers should run the world.

What would you do if your neighbor was starving? This is not a hypothetical. Right now the U.S. government is deliberately starving the Cuban people 90 miles to our South. We all must act now! This cannot stand. All people of conscience in the United States have to speak up and take action to let Cuba live. We’ve all been outraged to see the urgent aid for Rafah blocked at the border, while famine stalks the Palestinian people. We can’t allow the same thing to happen directly to our south.

Nationalization of Labor itself, a proposed alterative to Nationalizing industries

Hallo, Im someone who is sympathetic to Marxism and the ideals of Communism after agreeing with many points and contexts i got from left wing media and content creators.

I just wanna share this idea/concept i thought of, though as someone not yet well versed in everything about the movement, im not sure if anyone has already proposed this or its maybe not something principally acceptable to communism. So please feel free to advise if so. ty =)

So heres the gist, we monopolize all labor as the state, by essentially nationalizing all labor through becoming the only entity(state) to provide decent wages to all citizens, and provides labor to all enterprises. Which i understand as different from Nationalizing all industries to the State, as the soviets and other past socialist experiments did. We seize the means of production, not on the actual facilities but the people, the people are the true means of production for in the hands of the labourer is value made, until machines via automation creates abundance, value remains in the labor of the workers alone as they are the means that production is enabled.

This is mainly all for the transition to socialism, then eventually to communism once technological advances in all economic industries have made the conditions for absolute abundance, which would no loner necessitate learning and doing work for the sake of subsistence or living but created instead the conditions for learning and doing work for the sake of self-fulfillment and pursuing meaningful social relationships.

In this context, employment of all labor to the state as proposed alternative path to achieving socialism, and "deployment" becomes the more common term for working in any industry enterprises within society. "We work for the state, intertwining the people even more with the state as a result" as well as making Private and Church even more totally separate.

Firstly, No corporation/enterprise/ big and small can secure their own workforce, without the state to give an all clear signal that allows any labor to work for them. As it will be made illegal or simply technically impossible for these enterprises to do so.

As we can simply either only illegalize enterprises' ability to hire at all

(unofficial work with agreed upon compensation between family, friends, and neighbors are not affected, only those in the level of significant economic social organizations),

thus instituting the responsibility of employment along with fair wage providing to the state, immediately.

Or we could do this gradually and more naturally (which is more feasible as we can adapt the system more practically step by step), by building this up as an actual natural social institution through beginning on hiring as many citizens as possible to the state, and pay them decent wages regardless if they are working/deployed yet

(as long as they have a provable intention to work once a "reasonable deployment opportunity" is made known to them repeatedly. This intention is Proven simply by having no evidence of intent to be a burden, which is to abstain repeatedly from deployment opportunity notifications without good reason, otherwise lose their decent wage until they take up a reasonable and qualified deployment opportunity).

As The state will act like a job agency but government run. We slowly subsume all employment into the state as the state would ensure decent wages and good workplaces, as the government will only "allow labor" to any enterprises or make a "deployment opportunity" available for undertaking to "qualified citizens" once found by inspectors and "try out workers" to be most acceptable to work in regardless of wages, as that is already ensured by the government and a given factor. Even so, all citizens are allowed to abstain from undesired deployments, the government upon confirmation of any enterprise being up to standard in worker safety & environmental regulations, will notify all qualified citizens on the multiple deployment opportunity, if they are not already deployed.

In this, markets remain, but through nationalization of all labor, the state and the people would hold much more leverage against the private sector/profiteering enterprises/capitalists, As the supposed burden of wages are removed from the corporations, they also lose their greatest leverage against the working class and the means for exploiting labor surplus value. For the capitalists, the exploitation now becomes nearly maximum as the workers work nearly without compensation, except for the expenses in terms of ensuring work safety and benefits. Compensation is now handed to the State, leaving the sate with a great responsibility rather than a burden, that which if done well, can bode great equal prosperity for all working citizens and a great explosion support from the citizenry. Yet with the capitalist's losing the power leverage of wages

The working people may no longer be forced to remain in horrible working conditions due to fear of unemployment but freely migrate to better workplaces. Which i hope creates the conditions for competition to have the most decent workplace and working conditions as much as possible.

As enterprises cannot legally hire nor attract a workforce while having horrible working conditions, enterprises that cannot adapt and make their workplaces and conditions more acceptable and humane will die out or get filtered out.

Necessitating corporations to work with the government on complying on regulations that ensures workplace safety and environmental sustainability in order to be given a an all clear on regulation standards that will allow labor to be deployed at all. Thus giving the State a great leverage to use against the exploitative corporations and ensure systematically good workplaces.

As this entire institution of the responsibility of wages being transferred to and championed competently by the State will enable the working class a fairer advantage and function as well as a good institutional filter to systematically allow good enterprises to flourish and bad enterprises to fall down and die as they should for making the working class shoulder their incompetent business model that maximized exploiting their labour surplus value by paying lower and lower wages, along with diminishing work safety conditions and environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, those who deployed to Jobs with hazards, will be given above decent higher wages by the state, as compensation and incentive. (mining, war, experiments, toxicity, etc)

This consideration also includes other socially necessary but undesirable jobs. (not as prestigious, socially/mentally straining, like cleaning, clerks, hospitality)

We ensure decent wages/income by having a water tight bureaucracy, with a strategic administrative zoning for this wage bureaucracy to manage per zone. Where they conduct local censuses of annually or monthly or weekly depends on the what is found to be most practical upon implementation. Information on the following will probably be critical, especially regarding residence, number of confirmed dependents (such as children, elderly, sickly, disabled, etc.), place of work deployment, basic profile, resumes, bank accounts for knowing where to send the income and etc.

This will be conducted via either Household visitation (preferably) or summons to the nearest town/city hall or Wage office/station for face to face interview regarding their experience of working conditions, what they have learned on the job that can be confidently applied to their resume, and eventually their census information.

Most Importantly, decent livable wages, will be based on how much wage on reasonable practical average does a single individual need to secure, decent shelter, clothing, food, water, electricity, leisure, and other basic needs.

We may try a annual convening committee that discusses the necessary wage and debate on it and adjust accordingly to the needs of the average citizen and the feasibility of providing such a wage.

(Especially, when a certain need is met, there can be merit for lowering the wage for now until that need is comprised once more. Like lets say a person got sick, so of course their wage must be increased to taking that into account, once they are cured or more stable, we may slowly or immediately lower the wage back to before this person got sick. Or once they have secured a home, the wage will be adjusted with considering bills and no longer on securing a home)

once this average for a single individual is determined, and factors considered as a case to case basis, like in law, precedents will be significantly important.

We will conceptually, and theoretically say it will be multiplied by how many undeployed individuals there are in their household by 2% per each undeployed part of the household.

Depending as well on the amount of "dependents", per each dependent (children, elderly, disabled, sickly) it will be multiplied by 5-20% depending on severity. This is Assuming that the appropriate public services for addressing these are not yet made cheaper or completely free (free/cheaper healthcare & social services/caretakers/social workers)

these multipliers are not final, but are what are presumed to be reasonable theoretically but may be subject to change in a context of practicality upon implementation

Thats all i think? unless i forgot to add something? this is where this ends. Please share what you think. ty =)

Additional thoughts:

UBI - Universal Basic income, can be a concept one can refer to while trying to understand shouldering wages for all working citizens and how this may nationalize labor (except enterprising citizens such as registered business owners/CEOs/etc)

Nationalization of industries - a concept one can refer to understand how a command economy's intended goal is to be.

Work agency (a place to submit ones resume and contact details, and once contracted by a company to do hiring, they will select from their applicants the desired traits and qualifications) - a concept one can refer to understand how nationalizing labor can be implemented, by coopting this concept to become the full responsibility of the state.

This may also trigger a lowering of prices, if the cost of labor becomes a state responsibility ,prices may lower as the costs of labour completely vanish. Yet if suddenly and immediately all citizens receive decent wage higher compared to the wages of corporations, this may instead create inflation, as such doing this gradually than suddenly would be best, as i had suggested, as this would diminish any potential harms of inflation, if we slowly raise wages to decent livable levels by slowly subsuming employment into the state

Though i also believe, this may slowly create a inflation based on population of working citizens, as the money supply may become pinned on the perception and trust on its value a exchange. Along with the amount of workers in the eocnomy being paid by the state with wages being the cap for the amount of money in the economy thus maybe ending inflation only growing and decreasing depending on the amount of workers in the economy.

There may also be concerns of maybe having too many undeployed due to a lack of job openings becoming a problem, as such incentivizing to work oversees until enterprises or the government create more jobs within the country may be the best solution.
