This is the exact strategy has LOST every election with for the past 25 years (except Obama who bucked the advisors)

Nobody wants to vote for 30% hitler.

Rs want (and already have) 100% hitler.
Ds want 0% hitler, and won't be mobilized to vote for anything more.

"moderate voters" are a myth!

Example: trump thinks countries are "emptying their prisons into the US" because he thinks "asylum seekers" means they're coming from mental asylums.

A lot of anti-vaxers believe "the risk of a vaccine is worse than the threat from a disease they'll never get anyway." They're basically taking the asshole choice in the prisoner's dilemma.

That math changes REAL FAST when there's an outbreak in their area.

No.
Money, debt, property, etc. are social constructs.
Hunger is a biological reality.
People have to eat, food requires labor, 100% labor abolition isn't practical.

You can't replace society-scale agriculture + logistics with people doing it for the love of the game.

I assumed you mean disconnection as in never seeing the result of the thing the labor contributed to?

Like a backhoe operator digging a hole for the foundation and them moves on. Never seeing the home built there.

If you mean disconnected in another sense then that's different.

It means you haven't thought about it.
People gotta eat. Food doesn't appear by magic. Creating food requires labor.
Especially creating it at the scale necessary to feed everyone, and especially distributing it.

But that still doesn't mean they shouldn't be properly compensated.

Having the results of your labor disconnected from oneself is inevitable the instant you need to make anything that requires the expertise of more than one person.

You can't even build safe housing without a carpenter, plumber, electrician, and HVAC specialist.
