LABOR IDEOLOGY

KNOWLEDGE, LABOR AND EDUCATION

KNOWLEDGE

  • all skill knowledge freely available
  • skills have pre-requisite knowledge/skills (knowledge/skill graph)
  • skills are freely taught to those with pre-requisite skills who desire to learn the skill.

QUESTION

knowledge / skill contribution as a duty? i.e. any new skill you develop and any new knowledge you develop MUST be

  1. added to the library
  2. exposed to the commonwealth as a usable skill

LABOR

  • labor outputs have requisite skills
  • labor for an output may be performed by any individual with the requisite skills

EDUCATION

QUESTION

education as a duty? i.e. any new skill you develop and any new knowledge you develop MUST be

  1. taught to those who wish to learn and have the pre-requisite skills might get tricky with some of the lower-level skills. maybe the skill is taught by the most recent person to gain that skill? teaching would re-enforce the knowledge that the new mentor just learned.

INTERFACING WITH SYSTEMS OF CAPITAL

while the goal of labor is to never produce capital, in order to ensure the group's survival, it is sometimes necessary to interface with systems of capital. to that end, these are the guidelines with which capital will be generated:

REQUIREMENTS

  1. all members of the collective must have needs fulfilled
  2. the collective must maintain a small buffer fund to support machine repair / unexpected costs which can not be fulfilled from the collective and must be imported.
  3. through collective agreement, the collective may elect to pool a quantity of capital over a long period of time in order to fund imports with a high capital requirement.

METHODOLOGY

  1. generate the minimum number of output units required to meet capital requirements necessary for 1 and 2
  2. once capital requirements have been met, internal production takes priority
  3. should no internal production requests exist - production may begin against requirement 3

NOTE

the ordering of 1 and 2 above may shift as internal production begins to overtake imports for fulfillment of requirements 1 and 2
