Every type of being used (aka employment) is selling your body, including your mind.

[-] [email protected] 121 points 6 days ago

There's all kinds of people working in warehouses, construction, just ruining their body for a few bucks an hour.

workers of the world unite

Isn't going to happen. Corporate America has half of the workers convinced that the other half is causing their problems.

For a second there I read "whorehouses" and I was like "Seems legit". Most of the rest of the sentence still fits. 😅

Depending on your constitution for outdated nomenclature, both warehouses and whorehouses do involve workers moving boxes around in various ways.

Ok now make a corrected edit where both of them are saying the speech bubble (both of them are forced to sell their bodies in order to live and afford basic human needs, yet they have become needlessly pitted against each other in various leagues of purity contest in order to distract from their oppression under capital)

Disabled vet, can confirm. Still have all my limbs but at least the system finally worked and I get a pension and that sweet socialized healthcare now.

Lots of scars on both these characters that you can't see. Maybe the problem isn't the people or the gender.

one of them still has their body intact

This post / art is extremely disrespectful to the people that lost so much doing what their country has asked of them.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I feel you're missing the point that the image is trying to make. It's two polar opposites who can't imagine doing what the other does, but the reality is that they're both doing the same thing.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

No I get the point. That point would have been better made with a construction worker or miner or any number of jobs that breaks your body while buying your labor, but they made it with one that's done in service of others, their country, their neighbors, strangers in another country. Only at a cursery glance are they doing the same thing.

Edit and after finding this I'm going to go ahead and say fuck Krime. They do know what they are saying here.

Seems it was originally a Mia Khalifa quote.

There are brown people on the planet that need to be bombed.

Lefty Memes

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, upvoting good contributions and downvoting those of low-quality!

Rules

0. Only post socialist memes That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)

1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.

2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such, as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.

3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries. That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).

4. No Bigotry. The only dangerous minority is the rich.

5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals. We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals. Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.

7. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:

(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)
