The Proletariat Should Learn to Invest!

There is no doubt about it: The proletariat must learn to invest. The reason the proletariat never managed to have their revolution is because they have never managed to hold a unified front against their capitalist oppressors. Moreover, the proletariat still need their income and many are unwilling to risk what little they have to become jobless and then re-saddled with their problems. The problem with the capitalist world is that inventions enable machines to do the work of many people. Yet it does not make business sense to pay the machine operator the salaries of those displaced people in order to properly compensate that operator. Hence, it is inevitable that the proletariat are paid less than what they produce. This also means that the proletariat have to loan their equipment to the companies in order to be paid exactly what their work is worth. Then again, it is not possible for a commoner to be able to afford to loan the construction crane that she operates to the company. The company may choose to buy the crane rather than rent it anyway. An alternative would be to start a highly profitable company and become a capitalist. Not everyone can make a company survive, let alone become profitable. Given the current economic system, it is only possible for the proletariat to loan their funds to the capitalists i.e buying their shares. That way, they own a small part of the company they work in, or the company they have confidence in. It is, in effect, loaning that computer to the office, so that part of the work the computer does is channeled back to the worker. Short of another global revolution, this is the best solution.
