The bar in the picture says it’s a kilo which is $65, 344. While I could agree with OP that 10 kilos would give you an average house in higher priced areas like new York or LA, it would definitely buy you several nice houses in 1920.

That’s solidarity right there

I’ll be far too full after eating the rich to also eat the janitor.

It’s Dale you damn animals

I’m a real debate lord and it really annoys me when the person I’m being bickering with gets banned. Ruins all the fun.

Now that I’m back I really don’t know why I left.

I just deleted Chrome and switched back to Firefox

This comment section is full of morons. Socialism is when workers own and operate the means of production democratically. Read a book

Yeah, the whole point is having a legally binding contract that sets wages, hours, and working conditions. Also the “going through your union instead of your manager” is super dumb. It’s like saying, “why talk to your lawyer when you can just confess to the police?”

I was on Reddit every day for 14+ years. July 1st I came to Lemmy and never looked back.

Capitalism is not “when you have markets.” I totally agree that it’s important to have well regulated markets. But capitalism perverts democracy with bribery and lobbying. Democratic Socialism is when you have a democratic government and a democratic economy.

You’re showing statues of Lenin in countries in which the Dictatorship of the Proletariat failed to cede power to the working class and establish a socialist economic structure.

When Lenin took power, Russia had nothing. It was in the middle of WW1, there were regular famines, almost everyone was illiterate, and it was in no condition to establish a socialist economic plan. So, Lenin created a temporary economic model called The Dictatorship of the Proletariat. This is a centrally planned economy designed to rapidly develop infrastructure and industry in a country that has none. Lenin was already ceding power to the worker’s councils when he died. Stalin decided he liked The Dictatorship of the Proletariat and did not cede power back to the worker’s councils.

Those countries never experienced Communism. They never even experienced socialism. They destroyed those statues because they hated The Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Living in a system designed for a short temporary economic boom for decades is no fun.

The Bear and Hell Let Loose. It’s a restaurant sim in the middle of a battlefield in WW2.

That is why Marx called that wage slavery. It’s literally slavery with wages.
