Would you describe that as worker self-management, perchance? By the way, throughout history, almost all farmland was rented or owned by absent landlords. Even today 40-50% of farmland in the US and Europe is rented, and a majority of the remainder is part-owner operated. It was and still is much worse in the Third World. These are hardly (on average) the sort of people that are acquainted with farm life or care much about health and safety rules, though their capacity for whining and demanding handouts and loans is more than evident... |
You've completely missed my point and ran off down some land ownership rabbit hole.
My entire point is people shouldn't approach life with a predetermined thought process. Most things in life can't be optimally solved with a left/right/center mindset, which is why people should abandon this idea of self labelling themselves
Because you've missed the point, I'm going to write it again; and please this time remove your preconceptions.

I am the correct answer for the question in hand. ------------------------------------------------ First of all despite what crazy people on the internet say, left-thinking = collectivist thinking & right-thinking = individualistic thinking. ----------------------------------------------- But plotting yourself on this left/right thought spectrum you have corrupted you're thought process by starting off in a pre-baked thought state. Don't do this. Instead apply either left or right thinking as applicable to the question in hand. ----------------------------------------------- For example: In dealing with something like road maintance, a left wing approach is best. We all use the roads, so all of us paying for road maintance in tax money is the best way to deal with that. But when coming up with legistlation on farmyard health and safety rules, a right wing approach is best. Let the farmers who work on the farm decide what is best, because the general population has no understanding of farm life. ------------------------------------------------- In short; don't be left/centre/right. Be free thinking. |
