Do you want guaranteed freedom from money worries, a
guaranteed home of your own, guaranteed
life-long free access to food, goods and services, guaranteed high-quality
health care, guaranteed high-quality care for the elderly who need it, and a
guaranteed job for all who want one?
This is not some impossible
utopian dream. If you want it, along with a majority of others, it’s achievable.
How can there be talk of “guarantees”
for all of the above radical improvements?
It's possible as soon as all agricultural land,
factories, power stations, oil fields, phone networks, transport systems,
quarries, mines, the water industry etc., come to belong directly to the
people.
When a majority vote for this, and so bring it about
democratically, everything produced from these assets will also collectively
belong to all of us.
As all food, goods and services produced will then belong
to the whole of society (not capitalist owners, as now), there will no longer
be any need to pay for anything.
We will all then have free access to what we need. No
more buying, bills, debts, taxes, or financial worries of any kind. Money will
be obsolete.
Work will obviously still have to be done, but we will
then be working for ourselves ― not for capitalist employers who pay
workers a minimum, while taking a maximum in profit for themselves.
With genuine socialism, millions of useless money-driven
jobs (sales, insurance, banking, accountancy, welfare benefits, loans, etc)
will no longer exist. There will also be no unemployment (as capitalist
employers will no longer exist). All these millions of extra people available
to contribute something of real worth to society will made it possible the ‘working
week’ in half. The incentive to work will then be retaining all the benefits of
this new far better system.
If you aren’t interested, and don’t want a change for the
better, simply vote Tory, Ukip, Labour, Lib Dem, Green etc.
But why vote for more of the same? Why not vote for
yourself for a change.

Well, of course, I agree. But why not demystify wealth by tying it to socially necessary labour time?
