There is no such thing as a "wage slave". Even a "worker bee" is an entrepreneur who decides to exchange his labour/time for a set amount of money. You can go out on your own any time you want. I have friends who went from workers to private contracters and make about 40%-100% more than they used to, doing the same job, just managing the risk themselves and the liability themselves. The factory workers in the "slave shops" in southeast asia make over double what they would make doing run-of-the-mill agricultural work - their living standards are increasing.I own a "legitimate" business outside of this stuff. I do not have any "employees", I only use private contracters. The government has made hiring an employee at least as much a liability as an asset these days, and I have good people who work for/with me who are willing to take a higher wage in lieu of some of the "benefits" of being considered an employee as the state defines it. This is one of the reasons unemployment is so high right now, and every regulation imposed on companies will only exacerbate the problem. Along with minimum wage laws, which keeps more skilled employees locked into earnings tiers and doesn't let new workers enter the field versus someone with experience who will be paid the same amount.I pay based on productivity. My employees love it, since they can finish their day when the job is done, and I love it because I can feed a few families without having to worry about me entire life being ruined by some entitled bastard using the state's violence against me for some minor regulatory breach.Chomsky does not understand economics. His recommendations are dangerous to the point of destitude in short order.
