The workers get the perceived value of not being subjected to typical Indian working conditions. There’s the incentive. Otherwise, like all socialism, disincentivizing production (through lack of ownership) will ultimately lead to decreased production. That’s when you really see who’s in charge, and the manipulation gets intensified or overt. 1 Manage LikeShow more reactions · Reply · 2w Joshua Dakota Hughes Joshua Dakota Hughes You lost me at no religion and politics.
