The IPT tournament director has been posting here semi-regularly for a few weeks. You're not paying attention!BlackDragon said:..why doesnt anyone from the IPT post?
Marxian crap!Players > Youre just workers for his company. Thats not empowerment. Do this, do that.
This is a voluntary partnership for the players. Like any contract, both sides must obey certain conditions. There is no coercion here. But I suspect you'd like to have the government coerce the IPT to empower the players somehow. That's what unionists do and have always tried to do. It is hypocrisy based on ignorance.
It is a hangover from the Marxian doctrine of capitalists as exploiters, based on the ludricrous concept of the labor theory of value. A doctine that led to the death of over 150 million people in the last century when governments used force to try to break down all these free market voluntary arrangements.
