In the former Soviet Union, Yuri Andropov once imposed penalties for tardiness to the workspace and having the work-shy arrested for failing to show up to their workspaces. In the United States, young Americans with university degrees have trouble finding… Read More ›
Work-Standard
Update (8 August 2021)
I updated the SMP Compendium with two new entries under “Political Governance of the Work-Standard” and removed two sections, “Philosophical and Theoretical Origins” and “Economic Metrics of Liberal Capitalism and Socialism.” Those two new entries are relevant insofar as they… Read More ›
Compendium: Total Mobilization of Production for Dasein
Entries related to Arbeit and Geld, Theory of Value, Theory of Money, VCS Economy and Economic Planning, Accounting and Taxation have all raised implications about the appearance of three key variables. Those are Work-Productivity (WP), Solidarity, and Economic Socialization. The… Read More ›
Update: A (Re)Introduction to the “Economic Calculation Problem” (7 August 2021)
Conceptualizations of the Work-Standard and all of its specifications are going quite beautifully. True freedom and peace of mind only exists from within. No government, no legislative motion, no constitutional or legal code can ever guarantee that. This is where… Read More ›

Compendium: Taxation and the Work-Standard (Pt. III of III)

Compendium: Taxation and the Work-Standard (Pt. II of III)
The contemporary US Taxation System in the early 21st century is in many respects a byproduct of the haphazard implementation of Total Mobilization after Alexander Hamilton’s death and the dissolution of the Federalist Party. Much of it was introduced under… Read More ›
Compendium: Taxation and the Work-Standard (Pt. I of III)
It is only appropriate to describe the Work-Standard’s relationship with taxation policies from the standpoint of Hamiltonian Federal Socialism. Most Americans genuinely do not appreciate taxation policies. They are willing to tolerate when convinced they are necessary for the Totality,… Read More ›
Update (31 July 2021)
Over the past two or three days, I had been gathering research on taxation policies and determining whether they can be implemented under the Work-Standard. I still stand by my original stances that conventional taxation policies will be null and… Read More ›
