Think about socialism vs. capitalism in the context of today's job market.

Remember: either you decide how to solve a company's problems to make the both of you a profit, or someone else decides how to solve the company's problems...giving you the work.

In socialism, the government decides how to solve society's problems...giving you the work.
In socialism, the government owns the means of production.

In capitalism, a manager decides how to solve the company's problems...giving you the work.
In capitalism, a manager owns the means of production.

Essentially, both approaches are equal. You are screwed no matter who you let solve the company problems. So if you use today's job market this way, then you are guaranteeing yourself a future under someone else. You have no idea how much your work profits the company, and therefore you have a disadvantage at the negotiating table.

Why socialism doesn't work

You~ are the specialist. No one knows your trade better than you. Managers can only make things work so well, because they're busy with multiple departments requiring several skillsets. So why would a company rely on 1 person to solve problems in multiple departments? Wouldn't that overwork the manager, thereby reducing quality?

You know the truth. The manager makes you~ solve the company problems while he takes the credit. And that's why we all might as well revolt against the norm.

And guess what else? If every employee suddenly started doing the thinking, then managers wouldn't have a job! They have a financial incentive to get rid of you, and they won't risk their monopoly by letting you explore their company for win-win opportunities.

Consider the alternative

Imagine knowing in terms of time and money how much you can profit~ a company. My confidence skyrocketed when I figured out how to save one company tens of thousands of dollars per year.

Just by being skilled, you have the ability to identify problems. Anywhere there is room for improvement is an opportunity for you to measure the costs and benefits to capitalize on. And as long as you're making the company money, the company can treat you like an asset instead of a liability.

Micromanagers can't win. Imagine one of these losers giving Donald Trump a presentation. He might say, "Mr. Trump, I will solve these problems for your company, delegating 100% of the work to subordinates who do not understand the reasoning or the big picture involved in this project. I will instruct them, and they will do perfect work." At best, Mr. Trump would be highly disappointed, because there's three things multi-millionaires do not tolerate:  insubordination, incompetence, and a dubious negotiating posture. Micromanagers have all three.

Smile with me and sing along

We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
NOOOOoo, we're not gonna take it...anymore!
