    Do you think wage labor should be made illegal by the minimalist state? Also thoughts on education?

    Hi all!

    I've recently been going back and forth on something and as such I was curious to see the majority opinion. In my specific ideal version of libertarian socialism, power is directly in the hands of the people. Only delegation exists rather than representation in the modern sense (essentially the people can immediately expel anyone via vote who would have any semblance of power over another group - including peace officers, state educators, militia officers, etc.).

    I think we can all agree here that wage labor is fundamentally fucked up, that is, paying a worker only a fraction of the fruits of their labor. Until recently, it was always my opinion that the practice of wage labor should be made illegal by the minimalist democratic state, with the penalty being anything from a fine (said funds would then go to the workers) to directly giving the workers involved the means of production they used to generate profit for an individual or group without being given an economic say.

    Would you agree with this? If not what would your other solutions be?

    Also, what are your opinions on mandatory education? For a while I thought the same, that education should be mandatory in some sense, but now I'm trying to consider more voluntary solutions, like perhaps paying children to finish education (among massive overhauls of the current system).

    I find most of my other opinions are very libertarian, such as pro gun, pro free speech, pro privacy, direct democracy in all forms, etc. But I was kinda curious as to your thoughts on these.

    Thanks for your time.
