Boy, no one hates a Commie like a Capitalist.
Capitalists want to make a buck. Communists want workers to get their fair share. Capitalists really don’t want the Workers getting a fair share. That would cut into their profits. You can see why the two systems are in conflict.
Fortunately we are not limited to only these two flawed, imperfect economic models. The New Tanster Economy offers a third path. This new model is much more fair to everyone and it guarantees that all people’s needs are met.
As we know, Capitalist systems use inflation like a whip. Their chronically devaluing currency shackles workers by making all their assets constantly worth less.
Communism has its downside, too. Giving power to everyone equally actually means no one has any power. This leaves a power vacuum, hence the dictatorships that often follow a Communist revolution.
The New Tanster Economy solves all those shortcomings. It is a whole different model, one which will provide everyone with their wants and one which is never effected by inflation. All that has to happen is that we, the People, embrace the Tanster currency. A unit is fixed at the value of one hour of skilled labor. That value is a constant and therefore inflation proof. It is a brillant system.
