This has to be a troll.
95% sure is trolling. Yet, I'm also 100% sure a lot of those buffoons will not notice.
Not many smart people left on the sub. Just yes-men.
They've done so many purges in /r/conservative that it's basically communism
I really don't think there were many smart conservative redditors to begin with.
My thoughts as well, surely there's no way.
But... America.
It's true, but I feel like the dumb ones wouldn't have bothered to read Animal Farm.
Maybe Atlas Shrugged
🤣 This has to be a secret leftist trolling the right. No way someone actually think this is "communism".
This is the way you troll right-wingers.
When I start my start-up, at some point fucking everyone will get paid the same in proportion to overall company performance. From the cleaning staff to the highest level management fuckers. Because each and everyone is responsible for and contributes to the company's success.
This can work.
For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-51332811
Or to be extra based, distribute accoring to people's socially-necessary labour-time. E.g. pay the 8hr-day person 20% more than the 6hr-day one. Assuming people's productivity is average, which is most often the case.
I can see a counter-argument that it would create an incencitive to spend more time where it could be cut down and, also, wiring worker's paychecks to a sometimes arbitrary and flowing value. Like, you don't need to clean the outdoors property every day, it depends on the weather, and there I can see paying a stable wage reserving person's time and paying for it in case I need to call them even if it's sunny and they don't actually need to go. As long as they do their job well, who cares. They or a company can reinvest in better tools making their actual worktime even shorter or more comfortable, like, jumping from a manual gardening tools to an automated lawnmower, while not punishing them for working less. Some kinds of labor doesn't even necessitate being on site, as it was shown by covid, and we see a lot of ideas to cut down on wages due to LLM assistance.
I'm also puzzled about how uneven my work from day to day, and I'd probably prefer to give up on measuring and comparing that at all, defaulting to some lively wage and pulling enough of myself to keep the business afloat. If the idea of a guy over us is in having similar stakes in the business and collectively voting for changes, I see it's possible to set a fair compensation and keep people interested in the end results.
E.g. pay the 8hr-day person 20% more than the 6hr-day one.
The problem with that is you're going to have a hard time actually telling whether the 8hr-day people is actually really doing more than the 6hr-day people.
You just don't do that. You assume everyone is doing avg productivity for their job. Otherwise you enter the fools errand of performance measurements and evaluation. Assume avg productivity, pay the person who wants to spend 5 days a week proportionally more than the person spending 4 days a week. Or 8hrs vs 6hrs, and so on. Only if you want to allow for some poeple to work more than others. Maybe you don't. Maybe we shouldn't.
You assume everyone is doing avg productivity for their job.
On average, people only manage about 4hrs of productivity on any given day - no matter whether you are paying them for 6hrs or 8hrs.
You're essentially creating conditions for people who just sit around and pretend to work - while the people who cannot spend 8hrs per day at the workplace (like working mothers, for instance) start getting miffed because they can't access the extra "sitting-around-and-doing-nothing" money.
Otherwise you enter the fools errand of performance measurements and evaluation
You're going to have to measure and evaluate something. In my experience, corporations loves measuring all the wrong things. They can usually barely even define what "performance" means, never mind measure it correctly.
It's not evaluation that's the problem... it's the people deciding what should be evaluated that's almost always the problem.
Of course his favorite book is animal farm lol
We should troll them like this a LOT more.
Accusing people of being communist is just fun as well. It is not all that inaccurate with our political leaders either.
The president is taking stock in companies and taking payoffs from companies. Because he's a fucking communist.
It is absolutely inaccurate to call the capitalist fascist Trump a communist.
are you autistic?
Shit I'm autistic and even I got the social nuance of the post.
I think old mate might just be plain old fashioned Forest Gump level stupid.
at least they got their heart in the right place :')
The post is satire/trolling.
I was interested, so I found the original post, and the mods there removed all the comments, so you can't see the people falling for it.

Boy, conservatives sure love their free speech.
They really do. Some speech is more free than others.
This is suspiciously close to the famous "some are more equal than others" from my favorite book, .
As we speak people are losing their jobs because they said some shit about Kirk boy.
Hell, I've seen people losing jobs and shit purely from posting direct quotes from Charlie Kirk, nothing more

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility
(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)
We require alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.
We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.
When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.
0.5.1 Style tip about abbreviations and short forms
When writing stuff like "lol" and "iirc", it's a good idea to try and replace those with their all caps counterpart
- ofc => OFC
- af = AF
- ok => OK
- lol => LOL
- bc => BC
- bs => BS
- iirc => IIRC
- cia => CIA
- nato => Nato (you don't spell it when talking, right?)
- usa => USA
- prc => PRC
- etc.
Why? Because otherwise (AFAIK), screen readers will try to read them out as actually words instead of spelling them
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
6. Don't irrationally idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
- Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
- Racism
- Sexism
- Queerphobia
- Ableism
- Classism
- Rape or assault
- Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
- Fascism
- (National) chauvinism
- Orientalism
- Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
