    It’s easy to understand how income and taxes affect my life. For many jobs, it’s very difficult to understand the value of my labor in a bigger picture.

    I think most people can’t think abstractly and thus struggle to see larger interactions like how money flows through an economy.

    Are there any good recent statistics papers looking at the rate-of-exploitation in recent years?

    Because most of them aspire to be one of the folks that collects the green segments from others. Even though they never will.

          I’m pro communism and I literally did. I love how you immediately accuse people of lying when their experience doesn’t match what you want to hear.

              This is the typical reaction you get from these types. They just assume that nobody could’ve possibly liked living in a place like USSR, and if somebody say otherwise the only explanation is they’re lying.

                It’s just wild to see lol, I thought they’d at least question your experience instead of outright dismissing it

          funny how you deny someone’s experience when it doesn’t suit your convenience.

                That was the one at the top of the list, so I selected it since it didn’t seem to matter.

                But for that matter, you are aware there exist folks of different nationalities in Canada?

                  It matters enough to significantly alter your local and all feeds, at least.

                  I am of course aware that different nationalities exist in Canada, they are still Canadian. That’s a goofy point to make. Almost as goofy as telling a former resident of the USSR that they aren’t just because they have a positive opinion of it.

      Yes, without a bourgeois class focusing production on personal accumulation and instead directing production towards fulfilling the needs of the people, there is less exploitation.

      What do you mean a “victim of Communism?” Someone who has lived in AES countries? Lol.
