Worker's struggles aren't just for better pay or better working conditions - as important as those are! - but for the liberation of the entire working CLASS. That includes unemployed people, stay-at-home housekeepers and parents, children, elders, homeless and disabled people too (whether we work or not). We're all in this together. The oppression of the underclass, making those who cannot or refuse to work soul-crushingly miserable and often outright dead - that's a threat to keep the workers who do work in line. "Be glad you have your shitty job(s), it could be even worse!" Thus, we need things for free: Housing, food, health care, education, access to natural spaces, relaxation and social connections. We deserve things for free. We deserve a welfare state, or better yet a state-free society that takes care of its most vulnerable members first, as a matter of course. That makes a world where everyone can thrive and no one has to "earn" their right to thrive, let alone live. Bosses tell us it is entitled to ask for things for free. "They want more pay for less work! 😱" seems like a no-brainer condemnation, when in reality it is just fact. Bosses are the ones who take things for free, and not the things everyone should have, but the things NO ONE should have: The "right" to exploit workers and make them disabled, the "right" to get away with sexually abusing them if they so chose, the "right" to extract earth's resources for personal gain, the "right" to destroy, poison and heat up the earth's ecosystems, climate and even orbit. The "right" to control our free speech, lobby for laws, buy politicians, wage war for profit. The "right" to be talked about with respect, deference and unquestioning acceptance of their unhinged axioms. Make bosses pay. #MayDay #anarchy #anarchism #workersRights #ClassStruggle
