Sure would be nice if surplus belonged to the working classes to direct towards advancing production, better social safety nets, and reducing working hours while advancing scientifically and developmentally, rather than being directed primarily towards a few wealthy capitalists.

That’s completely unreasonable, if we did that then oligarchs wouldn’t be able to have different yachts for every day of the week or buy elections. Who are we to ask them to give up the necessities of their lives?

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 days ago

if only it were just yachts; the epstein files shows what they actually use the money for and it makes we wish i hadn't looked at them.

just the continuation of the monied monarchy. we have the solution.

Nature created neither servant nor master;

I seek neither to rule nor to serve.

And its hands would weave the entrails of the priest,

For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings.

had to look this up and french prose makes this difficult to understand; a paraphrase into english prose makes more sense:

Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

Don't be a commie! Be content with 40% of the value of your work. They might even give you 41% if you defend your capitalist masters.

[-] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

40%? Where do you work because I certainly don't get that high of a percentage

[-] merdaverse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

It's based on an average for western countries, but of course you can calculate something more specific to your situation with company financial data and taxation rates in your country:

Going straight to the epstein class, and bombs for Israel.

FYI, the package is styled as a soviet baking soda pack

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 days ago

Ironically, the US had a more communist looking baking soda

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

how do you know what it looked like?

[-] cone_zombie@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It still looks like this to this day, you can find it in any grocery store

[-] toofpic@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Uhh, I was born there :)
Also, a lot of household stuff makers just continued making products with oldschool packaging, because it was easily recognizable. So if in the USSR you had THE condensed milk in iconic packaging, now you would have many condensed milk brands, but most of them having some kind of variations of the og package. I even have a magnet with it
