    I genuinely envy the big dick energy to walk into a room and just start declaring a manifesto for everyone around me at once.

    By taking your happy self and determining where you choose to work or not work, as a private person, and the state isn't forcing you, means that you by definition are being a capitalist.

    He said this too. LOL

    I don't even know how to parse his upside down take of the Manifesto where wages are exploiting the bosses and collective property is no property.

      If I cannot take away others' treats and hoard them for myself, am I free? If I cannot enclose the commons for my own gain, is there property at all? :thonk:

      I think it's Sovereign Citizen stuff mixed with a healthy dose of "independent contractor" experience/propaganda.

      The way the gig economy is organized is to turn every person into a corporation (after turning all corporations into people with Citizens United). The whole idea is to muddy the waters between personal and private property as when all personal property is used to generate wages, it becomes something subject to capitalist expropriation.

        Libertarians "commies want to take away our toothbrushes and only the capitalists should be able to do that!"

    We are not taking from or exploiting our fellow workers, we are going to take our dues from the profits of people who can't reasonably use that much their lifetime.

    I wonder what this dingus thinks about exploiting labor outside of countries like the US.

    ... Or do I?
