autonomy of your labor is when some dude profits an insane amount off of you and then throws you some measly dimes from that profit so you don’t die

That there's what we like to call a dumbfuck

All things aside, if this is American, taxes paid for the infrastructure

Textbook case of false consciousness. Many such cases.

This sounds like someone who spends their time watching videos of grifting financial gurus

Hol up. That doesn’t make any sense

@meteorwalker.bsky.social what in the fuck are you even trying to say?

@meteorwalker.bsky.social hey man, come back, we just wanna talk

the other two it should suprise no one. nafo and banksy blocking me? a'ight. bye then, social fascist trash. but I straight up only asked the dude to come back and talk.

Mmm, replies off, too. That's the good shit right there.

Whoever criticizes the need of reeducation camps severely underestimates the stupidity of an average internet user.

He is so mad! 😂

My favourite part is them not knowing what overhead is

Wow that sure is a lotta $5 words to say "i love paying rent!"

But guys it says "right to work" right there in the title!

“Well my boss doesn’t hit me so I’m actually not being exploited”

Communism is toothbrush one we all share when

Yikes the poor thing is so confused

loud and incoherent

“Actually I am the one exploiting my bosses by allowing them to profit off of my labor because I get to enjoy material comforts after my labor is exploited”

O the oppression business owners endure! Tethered to the means of production, imprisoned in their offices, never as successful as competitors, struggling and toiling away from family to network and schmooze, their ghosts forming a rat king of chains and cash boxes Jacob Marley could only imagine.

why don't their meany face employees appreciate them?

Pick a struggle

I love it when people with weird political opinions on here are in their 30s

Reading their post the only descriptor I see is scab

35 and a liberal u are a grown ass man

is incoherent a struggle?

😭

Oh this dude 1000% is poly but with a one penis policy.

A satanist liberal? Just say undecided voter, moran.

Exhausting

I hate when people use their ownership of their own labor to exploit the bourgeois class

wonder what these people think about labor unions

That is the question.

I feel like satanism and liberalism must contradict.....

Anton-LaVey-style Satanism is basically just Ayn Rand playing dress-up in a Baphomet costume. So for me, this tracks.

Nah it's a perfect fit, they're both based on feigned opposition to the dominant ideology that tacitly accept and reinforce all of the assumptions of that ideology

You’d think that but there’s actually a lot of liberals and fascists

locked replies lmao

I'm exploiting my company by collecting a paycheck instead of working for free and giving them whatever money I find

:/

meteor wanker

badly translated fighting game move

you hear the craziest shit walking around Limsa Lominsa

I was thinking about arguing against this... just this. But then I decided to spend the afternoon flicking lint out of my belly button, and honestly that sounds like a better use of my time...

Genuinely so much better. The lint is smarter and also you can actually do something about the things that make it annoying. 😭

Another day of people being normal about your posts

I don't know what this is supposed to mean and I don't want to know

Slavery is impossible because the slave owners are incentivized to build houses for and feed their slaves, so who is the real exploiter

I'm gonna start collecting posts like this and sending them to people who clutch their pearls at the idea of mass reeducation being necessary

just because the fascist camps are inhumane Abu Gharibs doesn't mean my reeducation daycares will be

“Free Higher Education” Intensive college course. Lots of history and humanities.

essays. graded ruthlessly. more time in gulag if you aren't comprehending basic subjects.

Hell, even I say that's too far. People that will need education and background abt the horrors of Imperialism, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism are generally not very academic. I'd be happy with an essay, a video explainer, a sketch, or interpretive dance if it conveys their new understanding.

* from each according to their ability.

based.

Every day I come onto the world wide web’s global network of dipshits and every day I am forced to learn about a new dipshit

How can I consent to my ability to live being held over my head, the whole system is built on coercion, and if it were so easy, why do rich people roll their sleeves up and do the hard work themselves?? Oh they can't? Oh you don't say

Don't rich people *

I have never seen a proletarian class traitor so delusional that they have convinced themselves that they are exploiting their exploiter.

Also known as an American

I pulled a muscle in my brain trying to understand that and that's confusing because there are no muscles in my brain...

I think he's just saying he's free to sell his labor, and that development of society is the result of the power of capital, not labor. Two things unfortunately not considered by Marx.

I'm choosing to believe this is an incredible, low-key joke that's delivered with such sardonic wit that it's nearly impossible to tell. 👍

MARX WROTE THREE GIANT BOOKS ON CAPITAL

I can think of loads of examples of society being developed by the power of labour - literally any thing humans have built would qualify. What examples are there of society being developed *without* labour?

Does money sitting in a bank account build roads or do people? How are you this stupid.

If you’re not being sarcastic you need to crack open literally any book or pamphlet that Marx or Engels wrote

Laborers being “free” to sell their labor time for a wage to the capitalist class is basically the majority of what he analyzes. He states repeatedly that capitalism advanced the productive capacity of society and is an advancement over feudalism. Like he repeatedly says this.

Capital, however, does not develop and accumulate without the exploitation of the laboring class.

Nerdjpeg Capital class when

Woe be it the unfortunate farmer who is unjustly forced to provide a barn for his cattle lest the perish. Let us pray for him.

I am being sarcastic, yeah lol

thank GOD

Could have made it more obvious especially since my comment was only slightly more (maybe less?) ridiculous than initial post lol

???????????????????????????????????????????????? read the goddamn pamphlet!

yeah except in literally everything ever wrote

me when I redefine the meaning of the word "exploit"

I was going to go dunk on him but the post has literally zero engagement and I'll be damned if I'm going to feed this guy's ego.

it's one of those accounts that can knock themself out by shadow boxing.

"as the working class im actually the one exploiting my boss by doing whatever he says in exchange for barely enough money to eat"

I mean this will stancil alt would say that bc his parents bought him a scholarship and a tenured job doing nothing

holy shit lmao

lmao went to talk shit but,

Tying your mind up in wild knots like this is definitely a way to live.

Turns out they're destroyed even when they do try to answer the question

Yeah.... What?

I... He's literally arguing in favor of communism and he doesn't even fucking know it!

All this means is that they don't believe their labor is worth more than the peanuts he'll be paid for it. That's a low self-esteem take from someone who thinks they're landing a "gotcha". Communism would give you 100% ownership of your labor; capitalism gives you 10%, at best.

Are they saying that we are exploiting the owners of businesses by working for them? This broke my brain

Yeah, the capitalist has to front all his capital to let me work! Lucky me, by owning no capital I can't be forced to front it.

There's a kernel of a correct observation in there: business owners are often petit borgeios being exploited by landlords. They've just deluded themselves into thinking the employer acts as shield that absorbs that exploitation, when they just pass it downwards.

At the terms they set, and as they reap the rewards.

well they did a good job of proving your point, the question actually broke their brain

I'm exploiting the fuck out of my boss today. That's why they aren't working and living in luxury while I toil.

That hurt to read...

bodily autonomy? what?

literally lmfao idek what that user is *trying* to say lmfaooo. you broke their brain. you weren't kidding. one simple question destroys anti-communists.

this made my brain itch in the worst way
