Keeping the working class healthy and productive is just good business, not equality.

Social democracy is the natural evolution of enlightened self interest from a ruling class, aka, well fed serfs are not only more productive than slaves or starving peasants, they don't put your head in a guillotine.

But they are still serfs. As long as their well being is a privilege and not a right, or the reward of their own labor from means the worker themselves own, the ruling class is still in control, and can hold the threat of revocation above them.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
