Not everyone in capitalism is a winner, and that’s ok. The big advantage is that the losers are usually offered the opportunity to work and make a living.
The alternative is crossing your fingers and hoping the government (or whatever body is responsible for distributing pay) gives you what you need. If they don’t, tough luck, there’s nothing you can do about it.
As opposed to under capitalism where you have to cross your fingers and hoping that one of those winners will offer you a job with living wage, while another doesn’t charge you an arm and leg for housing.
The communist version of this meme has someone with a whip and sword standing behind them and telling them to work for the benefit of the people or die
This is called projection, especially since capitalism itself was built with ongoing slavery and genocide. The only people who should fear communists are the bourgeoisie and their running dogs.
“Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.”
we definitely still have slavery in America. Like, in America. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of companies that outsource their slavery to other countries and then ship the product here so we can pretend it’s not made by slaves, but plenty of companies skip the middle man and just use slaves here
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe evidence points towards the pyramids being built by paid workers, and I think some even got to be buried in their own smaller pyramids
Correct, conditions of the workers of the Pyramids and Temples
-8 h per day, 6 days a week
-Free housing, food and a small garden for themselves and their families
-Medical assistance and care in sick leave due to illness and accident.
-Exempt from paying taxes
-Care and assistance for the old ex-workers.
(better than today in most countries)
Slaves (mostly prisoners of war and criminals) were naturally also used, but only for basic jobs and assistance. The Pharao knew very well that if he wants a job well done, he cannot get it with slaves and in poor conditions, but with well-cared and happy professionals.
I don’t think those hypes are proppin up any the economy. Basic needs, like food, do. Those hypes are like the furniture in top floor of that building.
I’m in the west and i don’t. I think we like to use GDP and Inflation. Those could be better, but they are not too bad. The stock market is mostly for gambling.
A lot of the mainstream economists in the west focus on the stock market, even of you don’t personally.
Meanwhile, GDP and inflation are not great measures either. GDP in particular is very problematic because it doesn’t measure productive labor. For example, health insurance industry is a large chunk of the GDP in US. It employs a lot of people while producing nothing for value for society
And the problem with inflation is with how it gets measured. For example, food and housing prices are growing far faster than the official inflation numbers.
Dead, buried, brought back to life, shot, brought back to life again and grafted to AI, beaten with a shovel, and currently laying in its own piss hoping 2024 is better to it.
Oh and Swift is apparently using chainlink for bank transactions, although most are wondering why on earth this would make chainlink holders any richer instead of the dev team and Sergey himself.
Time…that I have to dedicate to stroking to imaginary sky god’s ego. Apologizing for my “transgressions” because apparently just admitting to and apologizing for them makes you no longer in trouble for them anymore…because that makes a lot of sense. It’s just real estate in my brain that could be better spent on other things.
I don’t mean to sound cynical, but Pastafarian Is ment to be a joke. named after Rastafarians. People that thought Haile Selassie was the second coming of Christ.
That wasn’t the start was. It started when God said " go to the middle of nowhere bro, trust me bro" "If you’re going to make an insult, do it properly."
