giving Google everything about their daily life including insights into their work.

Dude fuck that i only want to give hexbear users insight into my work

doesn’t have the depth the titan sub imploded

because you’re still paying out the ass on usurious loans

Imagine if the 19th century mutualists had their way and you could get a loan for a house and pay either no interest or, at most, a fraction of a percent, just enough to cover the costs of the actual labor involved in servicing your loan

Capitalist dipshits act like communists are so extreme and yet in their own radicalism they’ve prevented even the most milquetoast compromise that would ameliorate the exploitation inherent to capitalist wage labor. And every day it just gets worse as they fight to undo every slight gain won through the sweat and blood of unions fighting to achieve a more equitable future.

But the use of the atm requires no labor other than press button

That’s somebody’s job, but I don’t see it as free labor.

That’s how you choose to see it, but you also did work for the bourgeoisie for free

Look at it this way: nobody has ever had their workload lightened by it. Companies have just cut positions and hours instead.

With the cart example, yeah, cool, that’s good. I could fold every messed up shirt I ever see in a store and that would certainly make some workers day easier, but I’d also be doing work for free

To be clear since people seem to regularly confuse arguments for endorsement, I use self checkout, but it is what it is. I’m doing something someone was paid to do, for free. That’s the facts. And if you think about it, when i do so, I do especially valuable free labor because I used to work retail and can easily deal with it. Even if it’s slight it’s still a form of exploition and it’s galling to think of my past exploitation providing value to this current form. I was a good little retail worker long enough that I can add to walmart’s throughput by not clogging up a checkout, yay

ATM: push button, receive money

Self checkout: you scan, look up, and physically manipulate and bag dozens of items

You: these are equivalent

You’re performing labor vital to the store’s goal of selling you shit. Either someone else does that labor and gets paid for it, or you’re doing that labor for free. Doing it “for yourself” doesn’t make it not-labor and pushing the labor costs onto you are literally the entire point of these things from the business’s viewpoint. You’re choosing not to be bothered by it.

you’re doing work for free and it should bother you

Im going to be real i would be very tempted to walk out with my shit at that point

In other words: a lot of words to ultimately say nothing. Much like this comment.

still not beating the liberalism allegations

It’s like you don’t understand dick all, liberal

The U.S. is 100x the authoritarian hellhole literally any “dictatorship” your dumbass two neuron brain could think of, but you’re blinded by liberalism into a directionless anti “authoritarianism” that precludes ever questioning who that authority benefits.

Your ignorance leads you to defend the worst fucking empire in history by attacking its enemies because you don’t fucking know any better.

It gives me great solace knowing liberals like you will have to watch Chinese living standards increase at exponential rates, having to conjure more and more wacked out reasoning for why that is (spoiler: it’s a dictatorship of the proletariat)

even more liberalism lol just double down

do you condemn the federation for their horrible authoritarianism in their treatment of the maquis

source of that quote is i wrote it before bed

anticapitalist views of society in general are eldritch brain horrors that peel back the veil of reality and reveal the utter putrescence of capitalist society in such a way that its horrors are forever unseeable and, for some, almost unbearable, as every single moment which passes bears witness to uncountable instances of preventable suffering through not just exploitation but incredibly callous disregard for the value of human lives, and for communists it’s that x10

lol I love this shit with the AI bubble in the west china’s just gonna be printing money until it collapses

@startrek.liberalism showing its ass again

Unlike traditional libraries, which pay licensing fees to publishers to make their books available for lending,

i didn’t even know they did that I thought they just bought books and it was legal to lend them out because that’s the fucking point of a library

if you stop going online these people win, you must never touch grass

you can either have private jackasses own everything like petty kings of their little financial fiefdoms, or you can have capital be socially owned and operated without the explicit need for next quarter profit seeking, those are your fucking choices you nerd

Yes because workers owning their own workplace and directing activity democratically with no owner class siphoning profits has to work the exact same because…

Oh wait, it doesn’t and you’re just a fucking moron
