German wages and benifits must decrease or German industry will die.
Zitat von: "refugee"German wages and benifits must decrease or German industry will die. Even with more decreasing wages german industry could not compete with the far east or eastern european states. The production sector in germany is nearly dead right now, and due to the fact that the former working class cannot be retrained to employees in the research and development sector, we have to face the fact that full employment in our society could never be reached nowadays.Today german economy benefits from knowledge based services; we have the ability to generate a higher business volume with a comparatively small number of (high educated) employees.So the main problem is the fair distribution of public wealth. And the question what "fair" means.
German industry won't completely die. The global labor market needs to stabilize. This means more flexible labor. Germany doesn't need a manufacturing industry. It can depend on its knowledge based services to compete in the global market. You are too pessimistic
Biserka asked why we need Government, and if it's true that humans are essentially Good, then we don't need it. But I think it's pretty obvious when we look at human activity over history that humans are capable of great evil as well as great good. And anyway, these words are so relative (take the pig example from SoylentHolger :wink: ) that we need someone with authority to say what is best for society. It's nice to say that the common people should all run things the way they want to, but as Mentallo said in another thread, the proletariat are no better solidarity partners than the ruling class. Look at communism. The best mix, so far, is a representative democracy.
Someone with authority who said waht is the best for us?Okay 60 years ago germany had one Person with big autority and hethought it was the best for us to expand to poland I can't accept a person or any gathering that tells us what is right or wrong I belive that every human have to know what is right or wrong.Himmler said: "We will become greatest hero's in worlds history or the greatest murderer"The winner makes the history and so they become the greatest murderers "behind Stalin he is all time number one "The point is that every human has an other opinion in what is right or wrong catholics "no sex before marriage" or muslims "no pig"no sex before marriage is boringand sometimes I'd like to eat hambut when there is an "muslim" authority he won't allow me to eat hamor to having sex...the point is that authoority kills your free spaceto do what you want to...Sorry for my bad english I didn'T wrote a thing for 5 years...
achja by the way, sorry akira das ich gerade deinen post hier zitiere aber ich war zu faul mir aus den letzten drei seiten die einzelnen beiträge zusammen zu suchen. und deiner fasst das meiste davon so schön zusammen.
The services of highly educated people would be exported while the services of less specialized people would support the internal economy: waiters, hair dressers, salesmen...
And you talked about "social wealth" only in Germany. Think about the whole world. Why shouldn't they be allowed to participate in the global wealth? The stabilization of the global labor market will make the differences between the rich and poor less than they are now (hopefully).
Sounds like beeing "less specialized" means serving the successful. Former working class conscious men become service class (or should I say: service-slaves) of the export orientated global citizen. I've no idea how this goes together with social equality and social equity.quote]I never said I like the way things are going. Things will get worse. But not as bad as you think. Germany will still have jobs, just not as many manufacturing jobs. You're right, the service industry is a lot like slavery. "The costomer is always right." But like I said: some work for everyone is better than too much work for a few and none for the rest.What's really important is the UN. They will be the only group that can keep internation corporations from exploiting workers too badly, in Germany and children in the third world. We need fair trade, not free trade.
