THE EXPLOITATION OF MAN BY MAN
The basis of human coexistence is found in human respect, if the
human being is not respected, life becomes a battle between the
aggressor and the humiliated that make life a real misfortune. It is
not respecting one's neighbor to attack him, submit it, exploit him
at work, impoverish him or deprive him of basic needs, however, our
civilization is organized in a lack of respect for the population on
the part of the enriched classes.
The productive and commercial world is currently largely privately owned. Using their wealth and access to bank loans, they can start or expand production or marketing and by controlling the needs of the population, they decide where to invest and what to produce. As a result, the population has no choice but to work for them in order to meet their needs.
Have you ever stopped to think about what this social barbarity means? The life of the majority of the population depends on the decisions of private individuals, because they decide who works and who does not, and when you are working, you are under the condition of being exploited, that is, the employer has the right to enrich himself from the work of the workers. And this is normal and acceptable
How can it be legal and acceptable that people have to live in submission to private individuals with private interests? People cannot live as slaves to other people.
Man has the right to a dignified life because if and because it is also recognized in the Constitutions of the countries, with an adequate salary, a decent home, without being forced into poverty, subjection to other citizens, unemployment, scarce subsidies, or slave exploitation at work.
Is it not possible to organize working life without these abuses of power over the population? Would it not be enough for a department dedicated to this to distribute property, the economy, production and its marketing, with the appropriate jobs, in such a way that no one would be left without work, without housing and without fair and adequate remuneration?
Is it not logical that the needs of the population should be analyzed, organized and programmed for a department dedicated to this and not by a minority sector that seeks to increase its wealth and subjugate the population?
There are some opinions that say that it is necessary for the world of work
to be organized by rich private entrepreneurs and poor workers, so that the
system can work well, because if it were not so, nobody would want to work
in less pleasant or less paid jobs. This is an attempt to justify their
abuse of power, because organizing professional activity with each person
occupying the job that their merits and intelligence grant them and what
production demands is possible, all that is needed is an exhaustive control
of the companies, the jobs and the qualities and situations of each worker.
If the entrepreneur who owns the company becomes the entrepreneur-manager of a company that eliminates these conditions of slavery, can it not be equally effective? Is it not a question of will? Are not the owners of large companies a group of shareholders? However, the population is no longer subject to the wealth of the rich. The population gains a lot.
Let us imagine it: everyone has a job in decent conditions, everyone has their own housing, there is no unemployment or subsidies or precarious jobs, young people can emancipate themselves, there are no evictions or the need to emigrate, no debt, no poverty. There is a lot to gain by organizing the world of work and by the rich giving up their unacceptable power over the population and their great enrichment.
The USSR, China, the Czech Republic, all these countries have gone through a Socialist-Communist regime and then changed to a regime of private exploitation. But have they changed out of necessity, or because those who wish to enrich themselves from the work of the population have ruined it? Hasn't Cuba been subject to the US blockade for more than 60 years?
It is well known that without the demand for profitability of the company and for the entrepreneur to earn more money, the worker will be less efficient, but this is controlled by monitoring performance and production by the department assigned to it. Each company and each entrepreneur will have to account for their production to a department that would monitor the effectiveness of the company on a daily basis and if it is not sufficiently efficient, it must take the appropriate measures to make it so.
It is about making the entrepreneur adjust his demands to the worker
appropriately and for the administration to supervise the results. This may
be a conflict point to which we will have to pay a lot of attention, but we
will have to be able to overcome these aspects. Property, economy,
production and work must be perfectly established and rigorously respected.

SOCIALIZATION page of this website).
Since the world of work is organized by the private sector (when they decide to invest), a large part of the population is left without work, because all the jobs that the employer needs are already filled therefore, they will not take on more workers because it is not profitable. The sector that is excluded from private enterprise has to manage with scarce subsidies or in the underground economy. The employer is not obliged to solve this exclusion of the worker, but the administration if.
Work is the activity to which we dedicate most of our lives, which is why it has to be organized in such a way that it is as pleasant as possible and we dedicate the necessary time to it, but it does not have to be subject to private interests, servitude or slavery, turning it into a nightmare for many.
Nor should we make organizational changes that negatively interfere with the production and quality of what is produced and marketed today, but on the contrary, we must achieve better quality and better marketing, improving working conditions and the company, making agreements with current employers where, on the one hand, the company has support and guarantee from the administration and, on the other, guaranteeing the worker his job without the current exploitation by the employer.
Life is already full of difficulties, so that on top of that you have to live it being the subordinate of another. The civilized world must take this step towards coexistence without these abuses of power.
The fact of living in this humiliating society is due to the fact that, although people have a way of being kind and respectful to others, we also have a way of being the opposite, such as feeling proud and superior by subjecting others to our decisions and our personal interests (servants, subordinates, workers).
Forced laborers produce some of the food we eat and the clothes we wear and clean some of the buildings in which many of us live or work.
