By “compensation” I meant “have their needs met” not “profit.” I shouldn’t have assumed it would have been understood that way.
Not in a union yet? Not a problem. Become a Wobbly and join the only anticapitalist union out there.

The way you uphold this sort of lifestyle is through community along with recognizing that even the “simple” life requires someone dedicating their time to keeping up the infrastructure and that those who do so deserve to be compensated fairly for doing so.
I find “y’all” works pretty well, so does “folks” or even better “Fellow Workers.”
I mean, why would you ever say you were br*tish?
I will, thank you. Sincerely.
If I would only not just use it to log off.
Yeah y’all really don’t want to end up like us. We’re not the land of the free. The streets are most definitely not paved with gold. We’re just a giant ponzi scheme.
I’m not sure where you’re coming from?
I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through. While things are getting scary, know that you’re not alone and there are many of us willing to stand up against your oppressors. We’ll make sure that bigotry becomes a thing of the past.
Racism. I’ve been called racial slurs for not just my race, but other races. I’ve been profiled by police. I’ve watched my boss not only allow racist remarks made by my coworkers for no reason (eg: working like a hard-R) but laugh along to them. People judge Tarantino’s movies for excessive use of racism but I think they’re the most honest depictions of American culture.
“We were just thinking of the shareholders.” You can’t just pass the blame to shareholders. Why do shareholders exist? To create the illusion that everyone can be an “owner” so that the owning class can continue to fuck us all.
I don’t speak pretzel, but I’m pretty sure this is a lie.
You’re right, it is a bit silly. I just love unions.
I don’t trust humanity at current state to be able to do that
Which is precisely why the first step of the communist experiment is Class Consciousness.
Enshittification of those services is a direct symptom of capitalism.
No one is arguing that the fediverse exists because of workers owning the means of production.
You should really look into what “enshittification” means and how it’s a direct result of capitalism.
You skipped over the part where he says “You think I own this business? You think I own IKEA?” implying he would care if he actually had any skin in the game which he would if his job operated as a worker co-op.
You must think that humans are inherently greedy and/or are projecting what you would do in a scenario where you’re part of a worker co-op. Most workplaces aren’t worth millions. Most folks who round themselves in a worker co-op would most likely try to better the operation for everyone.
That sounds like a setup to a deez nuts joke.
