Thoughts of a Bohemian » Blog Archive » A blind eye:I know this photographer is pretty damn knowledgeable, but this kind of statement makes me shudder.
"A collective is not a photo agency. A collective is made up of like minded photographers who decide to pool some of their resource needs in order to reduce cost and help each other. It is a tad socialist concept, thus very unpopular in the USA as it might potentially lead to a communist revolution ."
Sir.
1. Collectives exist all over this country (USA). It is a wonderful way of working, collaborating and sharing the costs. I belong to one. So the statement "thus very unpopular in the USA" is downright silly.
2. Socialism is a Governmental structure, not a private enterprise structure. ONLY a Government can be socialist, bringing the populace with it through social laws and social economic structure. So what was that about?
3. Communism, while somewhat socialist in structure, is NOT socialism, but a faction of it developed with a very powerful central government.
So, OK, sir. You seem to be confused about how the things you are supposedly reporting on are constructed. And this comes from a man who was a CEO? I don't get it, sir. I really really don't. Are you wanting the US to become socialist? To have private enterprise, which you seem to have benefited from very well to be eliminated from anyone else's grasp?
Really?
