Communism is just as easy of an answer as fascism. Just a different direction.

There's literally a running joke where I work called the "Union Shit". You run to the bathroom to take a 15 - 20 minute shit between your breaks. Whether or not you're actually shitting or just shitposting is between you and those walls lol

I never understood why we're stuck with just capitalism or communism, two economic systems developed before railroads were a thing and written down at night by candle light or a lantern burning whale fat. I think we should come up with something better. To quote President Not Sure, "The water doesn't have to come from the toilet, but that's the general idea."

I did some 'back of the napkin' math a few days ago to see what it would take for the employees in my company to purchase enough shares for a controlling stake in the company. I figured that we'd never get 100% of the employees to buy in, but we also don't need 100% of the shares, so to keep it easy I calculated if 60% bought 60% of the shares... and it would cost each employee around $2.3 million. That tells me that each employee provides $2.3 million worth of value to the company... and we're not getting paid anywhere near that. Not even close.

Remember, people, the economy depends on you. It is important to be responsible, and to #ActYourWage

Communism is a meme. It will never work and there will never be a silver bullet revolution.

Well, you can always go work for a non-profit organization. Your salary will be even lower.

Your labor is more valuable as part of a business than as a freelance secretary. If someone increases the value of your labor in exchange for a cut that’s a fair deal.

shitpost until AI can replace you by doing an equivalent job is a dicey proposition.

“Communism in one country as opposed to the glob” - that’s the problem. How u gonna handle competition from non communist countries?
