Unify Action - ＂They Treated Us Like Slaves!＂ - Costco Made Him A Leftist

00:00:00.000 I used to work at a Costco, like, the forklift driver is telling me, like, management is, like, treating everyone like slaves.

00:00:05.240 You're calling it, like, socialism, but, like, it's kind of the capitalists themselves, or, like, we want government welfare.

00:00:12.320 I support socialism.

00:00:14.380 Okay.

00:00:16.120 I feel like a lot of that kind of came from, like, I used to work at a Costco warehouse.

00:00:22.440 Okay.

00:00:22.780 Right.

00:00:22.960 and it was like a lot of the conversations I was having with like people around me you know where

00:00:29.660 it's like like the forklift driver is telling me like the manager is like like like management is

00:00:37.060 like treating everyone like slaves and stuff like that you know what I mean yeah and it's like

00:00:40.900 why do we like why do we have like a system like that you know what I mean

00:00:44.920 yeah so any form of oppression is due to i like i'm a christian so i view things as like humans

00:00:54.520 are inherently evil so we do have evil in us so if we oppress others that is because of

00:00:59.760 we are by nature so if we were the best way to minimize that though is to have a system

00:01:07.320 where workers can leave or like even a workers union or something like that where we're able

00:01:12.440 to raise our voices and say okay no these conditions are bad we're going to leave we're

00:01:17.100 going to walk out you guys aren't going to be able to function that is a better system

00:01:21.560 so when we're talking about socialism though that's like government ownership of the means

00:01:26.700 of production right so we're we're basically talking about instead of having like oligopoly

00:01:31.900 or like a monopoly of like these capitalist businesses whatever we have a government-run

00:01:36.900 monopoly so there's there's less say for us as people to have right so like we have a vote yes

00:01:44.220 and that's like once every four years five years right so when we vote in a capitalist society

00:01:50.760 that's our money right so we're voting with our money and whatever we like we reward whatever we

00:01:56.340 don't like we don't reward so we're each of us we're rewarding we're voting for what we like

00:02:02.060 every single day multiple times a day um right what if like you're in debt or something

00:02:07.800 yeah i mean like there are a lot of people in debt i know i did want to say one thing so like

00:02:14.260 i feel like the issue with capitalism is like when i was talking about that costco warehouse like

00:02:20.140 uh you know like the main issue was like it kind of wasn't like the manager's fault like it wasn't

00:02:27.740 just the fact that the manager was like a bad guy or something because like uh the manager has to go

00:02:34.460 buy like quotas and stuff um and like basically like they have to make sure people are working

00:02:41.180 as hard as possible for like the smallest pay so if it's like right my manager is like literally

00:02:46.940 being for like if he doesn't do that if my manager is like nicer and is like guys take more breaks

00:02:51.440 stuff like that like the warehouse is going to get less money and he's going to get less of a benefit

00:02:57.620 it so it's kind of like it's a whole system you know it's not just like bad like managers and

00:03:02.340 stuff like that right and if it like in capitalism efficiency is rewarded right so that is probably

00:03:09.580 what the managers are thinking that is the more obviously the quicker they can get things out the

00:03:13.440 more money they make but when you get to socialism efficiency is not rewarded in any way and

00:03:20.860 inefficiency is basically the name of the game don't you think people are like more efficient

00:03:24.700 at working when they have like more of a break though you know what i mean like depends uh like

00:03:30.900 for like the reason we got an eight hour work day uh number one because like you know we had like

00:03:37.200 workers struggle for it and stuff but number two like henry ford right you know him um he was like

00:03:45.100 kind of saying the eight hour work day is good because uh people like when people have more of

00:03:51.460 break they like yeah yeah but i feel like capitalism is kind of not like uh just getting

00:03:59.120 people like it's not even about like output anymore like i feel like to some extent it's

00:04:04.080 kind of just like torture you know what i mean like it's just like seeing i mean henry ford

00:04:08.960 was one of the greatest capitalists i would say that's i mean yeah but he's just like he's just

00:04:13.540 the guy you know what i mean yeah yeah um so i there's no reason to really say that the government

00:04:21.460 would have come up with that themselves either and like the government again the government

00:04:29.220 does not reward efficiency so what ends up being rewarded is someone is just getting their paycheck

00:04:36.380 over and over again no matter how much work they do right so when you have socialist countries like

00:04:41.440 soviet union up until the fall of the soviet union they had really really long bread lines

00:04:45.820 and that because that's because there was very much inefficiency so like we need to work i'm

00:04:53.860 not going to say the capitalism is perfect but socialism is like verifiably worse and it's

00:05:01.080 because you have inefficiency like the government is not all-knowing and bureaucrats honestly do

00:05:06.700 care about themselves so we can't say we have selfless people in government i mean don't you

00:05:11.700 think that's kind of true in our system as well like uh in like 2008 when like the whole market

00:05:17.900 crashed you know like all of like the automotive producers like they they had no money and they

00:05:23.900 like couldn't produce anymore and what the government did was like bail them all out but

00:05:29.000 you know that's like capitalism you know what i mean well that's actually government intervention

00:05:33.000 i wouldn't say that that was yeah but like if we let them fail the entire economy would have

00:05:38.160 collapsed you know what i mean and it's like covid we did that as well like we just like

00:05:42.960 stimulated the economy uh part of the reason why we're like dealing with this like right now

00:05:48.580 but like i mean like it's the capitalists themselves though who are like the one like

00:05:54.900 you're calling it like socialism but like it's kind of the capitalists themselves who are like

00:05:59.120 we want this stimulus you know we want like government welfare um so like you're saying

00:06:05.160 that's socialism but that's like the capitalist capitalist though i mean like the big ones like

00:06:10.840 the banks you know that kind of thing okay yeah but okay those wouldn't be the people that are

00:06:17.420 like earning and making the products then because the people that would be there they would not be

00:06:22.160 the people that are like paying all the taxes right i'm a bit confused like the banks so

00:06:29.920 governments yes banks get taxed but governments get taxed governments tax the citizens right like

00:06:39.720 so the average worker the the billionaire as well as the person who's working in like tim hortons

00:06:44.540 right so those are the people that that are getting taxed so there might be benefit like

00:06:50.180 monetary benefit to places like these big banks to have more taxation because then maybe people

00:06:58.000 will have more debt and won't need to i don't know take out more loans or something like that

00:07:02.760 there might be actually monetary benefit to them um i feel like the like the system of like taxation

00:07:09.460 that we have today like it's just kind of like um you know it's kind of just like to decrease

00:07:15.100 inflation like you know like keynesianism yeah i'm sure like you would say that's like socialism

00:07:21.500 right keynesian economics yeah it's like it is based on socialist thinking um it doesn't work

00:07:28.020 though i wouldn't say can you keynesian economics works are you a student not here okay because i

00:07:34.920 was just gonna ask about like like you would probably say something like osap is like socialism

00:07:38.600 right it is yeah i mean like what's so like what's so wrong with like osap though you know

00:07:46.080 what i mean like if you come to like a campus like you know you're gonna find a lot of people

00:07:50.940 here who are on osap yeah we're like relying on it yeah yeah i know i do understand that

00:07:56.920 um and if see when you have a fair tax system where everyone gets taxed equally like say

00:08:06.980 the swedens the denmarks the finlands of the world their tax tax system is very fair and level

00:08:13.860 a taxes consumption not necessarily income so they have free they have free education they

00:08:20.480 have free university and everything else and people are basically paying the benefits that

00:08:26.660 they get then they are basically it's like paid for it they're going to pay it off in taxes

00:08:31.720 themselves at the end but they have a level tax system so the rich are not overly taxed when you

00:08:37.280 have socialism though the idea is that you're going to tax the rich and that's against the

00:08:42.400 the consent of the wealthy pretty much right so like the wealthy are not going to be like

00:08:47.180 consenting to having like 60 70 percent of their wealth taxed away from them they're either going

00:08:53.280 to move away they're going to stop producing they're going to maybe employ less people

00:08:57.300 stuff like that so there's reasons why socialism like the disproportionate taxing of the wealthy

00:09:04.140 has gone wrong so we could theoretically have a system where university is free

00:09:10.120 but that would have to come with a lot more taxes but like didn't just have that i mean like i know

00:09:17.720 the government was in like deficit and so yeah it seems like i don't know it seems like they're

00:09:22.560 kind of cutting like the wrong areas you know what i mean and i feel like a lot of people share

00:09:26.560 this sentiment where it's like they're cutting osap but you know like they still like bail out

00:09:31.600 corporations and stuff like every time like the economy like goes bad right like they're cutting

00:09:37.020 osap but like we still spend so much on our military and like i mean in the u.s at least

00:09:43.060 like a lot of that money like goes to like israel you know um not a lot but that's kind of crazy

00:09:48.940 like why like why do people here have to get like their social benefits cut well like u.s citizens

00:09:55.640 in their like tax paying money you know like israel has like free health care that's paid for by like

00:10:01.440 u.s citizens taxes like isn't that kind of like an affair i actually i mean if you look at what

00:10:08.500 israel is given though like 80 90 of what the money that they're given which i mean to be honest

00:10:15.360 it's a lot less than the money that is given to ukraine but the money that they're given like 80

00:10:20.120 or 90 of it actually has to be spent in the united states for weapons and arms and everything else

00:10:24.720 right like that's the deal that they have so the health care that in israel is actually
