My favorite neo-conservative interest group has just released a report highlighting the inherent equality and human betterment that socialism offers. While this clearly wasn't what they were hoping to achieve in their report, they have identified many of the downfalls of capitalism and have highlighted the misery it brings about.
Their report highlights the fact that the pension system and retirement benefits offered in public sector employment are much better than those offered in private sector employment. Specifically, public sector workers can retire earlier, maintain benefits, and earn a decent monetary retirement package.“We are on our way to a two-tier retirement system,” the report stated, adding that "in researching this issue, it became obvious that those of us who work in the private sector will not have the same means to retire as our counterparts in the public sector."
A two-tier retirement system is inherently wrong and must be corrected, but that is what the capitalist systems offers to its workers How can this be bettered? I would suggest that joining a trade union and advocating public ownership in industry is the best way to alleviate the suffering that those working in the private sector face.
