Right now, I'd pick physical labour over IT. I'm sick of being attached to a desk 12h a day looking at a screen and making some predatorial company richer.

I'd rather be cleaning up my neighborhood, planting flowers in the park, or working at an animal shelter or the local soup kitchen. Actually making a fucking difference in society.

Young Capitalist Trying To Prove He Isn't Above Physical Labor Gets Ghosted In 250 Job Applications

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

You claim you're not a capitalist, and yet you use upper-case letters at the start of every sentence.

Imagine living in a world where your value as a person isn't tied to how physically exploitable you are.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hey now! Under capitalism, your value as a person is tied to how aggressively you exploit others.

What other meaning would they have?

[-] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

I mean, they represent physical labor, in the sense that one physically uses a hammer and a sickle as tools. But the reason communists pair those symbols together is because they represent the class alliance of industrial workers, and rural peasants.

This is a repost of bad conservative Onion ripoff, The Babylon Bee, though. So I expect only the most shallow, baby-brained, "jokes" your average chud could muster

Scawy communism

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Guys, they are Communists, not Amish.

[-] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I'm a communist and don't want to break my back using a sickle to harvest crops, but also no one does except people watching trad content and romanticizing it. This is why we've automated most of the hard manual labor in developed countries.

We really need to update the symbol, besides all the baggage with the USSR it's just out of date. Maybe on 1920s Russia most people were working with a hammer and sickle, and a lot of people still do to this day in less developed countries, but the meme is right, you ask your average Gen z in the developed world what the symbol means they'll shrug and say idk.

Mozambique has you covered

[-] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

So Mozambique is a rapper? Represented by hoes and automatic weapons?

You’re right, a Combine Harvester and a Floppy Disk

[-] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Literally just a shitty Babylon Bee repost. LemmyShitPosts is a Nazi bar

[-] RAFAELRAMIREZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Wait, you mean the revolution isn’t just arguing online and designing posters? Devastating news.

Isn't Babylon Bee like The Onion?

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's like if The Onion was right wing

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The Onion if every punchline was racism (or transphobia)

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Right-wing humor = hate speech.

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

Lol @ the people propping up the system with "passive income" making accusations

[-] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago
[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

It means that between communism and capitalism there's exactly one option that says being paid for labor someone else did is fine and one that doesn't

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

... Both of them though?

One based on investments, the other based on being unable to work. From each according to their abilities and all that.

Not that it's a bad thing. To some degree we already do it in most sane capitalist countries too.
