    Shocking that they don't want low effort fake shit on the subreddit. I am baffled that they do not want to become like r/legaladvice.

    I dont know this seems like the kind of meme that would only be apreciated by people who are already leftists/into leftist theory injokes

    Not saying the meme is not solid but it seems like something that belongs on hexbear but maybe too blunt to start radicalizing libs

      It's a shitty fake basically making fun of the subreddit and its users. Why wouldn't it get him banned?

        Honestly, it didn't occur to me to read it that way. I see how it could come off that way now, but I still think it's funny ironic meta-commentary.

    r/antiwork: memes that bitch about capitalist alienation

    Also r/antiwork: no references to socialism we don’t support political solutions to our problems.

        Haha, wtf? Could they make it any more obvious that their support for IWW is just meaningless gesturing?

          That hate tankies more than they like workers, right now the moderation seems to be heavily biased towards more performative anarchism.

              They really like misreading the "those who don't work will not eat" quote as Stalin saying he wants to do a famine (even though it was Lenin saying the bourgeoisie will have to work).

              They also refuse to read any further than that line in the Soviet Constitution lmao. Totally ignoring the universal healthcare, paid leave, and early retirement.

                  Agreed, this is accounted for in the Soviet bill of rights on page 7 I think. Everyone is guaranteed paid vacation and the workday is limited to 7 hours for professions where that is possible.

                  There is also clearly laid out welfare policies for those unable to work and a retirement policy and maternity leave. They even include stipulations that revreation and medical care development is the duty of the state so workers have places to vacation and relax...

                  Like, the main issue with the USSR was that the welfare system was so good that millions of people just stopped working hard.

                  It's almost like that T's not to be taken 100% literally. Lennin probably didn't mean infants or 93 year olds either.
