It’s a modified form of slavery: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery
‘The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared “now I am my own master”, upon taking a paying job.[31] However, later in life he concluded to the contrary, saying “experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other”.’
only a little less galling
That hits different coming from a former chattle slave
The 4chan term is “wagecuck”.
Also wage slave and wagie lol
As fucked in the head as 4chan is they come up with some funny ass words
B-b-but in Epic Rap Battles of History, Frederick Douglass said, “The face of a free man, taught himself to read, man”, what do you mean he still felt like a slave in a wage system??
While I agree with the spirit of this post, I don’t know it I’ve ever seen anyone propose an alternative, legit system.
Read ‘The Dispossessed’ by Ursula Le Guin.
We could start with a little more time off
Employee-ownership of the company, like Bob’s Red Mill.
If we’re stopping short of a literal revolution that abolishes the existence of money — which would be poggers — employee funds have been proposed as a way of transitioning businesses into full employee ownership. That would fix a lot of the most immediate issues we face.
