Pro level shitpost.
This has to be a troll.
95% sure is trolling. Yet, I'm also 100% sure a lot of those buffoons will not notice.
Not many smart people left on the sub. Just yes-men.
They've done so many purges in /r/conservative that it's basically communism
Concerned-antocommie is such a troll alt username
It was:
I did the math
Followed by a logical conclusion that sold this as trolling to me
My thoughts as well, surely there's no way.
But... America.
It's true, but I feel like the dumb ones wouldn't have bothered to read Animal Farm.
It was going great until "I've come to the conclusion..." Gave the whole game away.
Most likely, since he uses communism, socialism, and Marxism interchangeably
Post up for 2 minutes, no votes shown. Definitely a troll post and probably screencapped by whoever made it before it was removed.
This has to be a troll but I'll be damned if r/conservative isn't dumb enough to bite
We should troll them like this a LOT more.
The problem is that their ability to ignore obvious contradictions is so immense they sometimes embrace it unironically.
Accusing people of being communist is just fun as well. It is not all that inaccurate with our political leaders either.
The president is taking stock in companies and taking payoffs from companies. Because he's a fucking communist.
It is absolutely inaccurate to call the capitalist fascist Trump a communist.
"Russia will take the US without firing a single shot"
The post is satire/trolling.
I was interested, so I found the original post, and the mods there removed all the comments, so you can't see the people falling for it.

Boy, conservatives sure love their free speech.
They really do. Some speech is more free than others.
I got banned from there years ago for asking a question in a comment.
As we speak people are losing their jobs because they said some shit about Kirk boy.
Yeah the comments were also trolls https://www.reveddit.com/v/Conservative/comments/iig9uh/is_my_boss_a_communist/

Unfortunately it looks like the commies on Reddit are a bit smarter than your average conservative.
I think this post needs to go on truth social or some Chan type thing.
I just realised I don't know where I would find a den of white supremacists... And I guess thats a good thing. I want to say the words telegram but I'm not sure? Huh. Til
Once upon a time this worked, not for new Reddit threads, sadly.
Comes up empty for me
Gonna start calling landlords "socialists", see what happens
Peak satire 👨🍳👌
I wish I could see how many of those mouthbreathers actually took this bait.
I did and I'm not even conservative, just autistic
I'm ADHD but not autistic and had me too until
Unify our power and demonstrate that we understand the full value of our labor
This guy/gal's got the right idea. Turns out conservatives agree with a lot of leftist ideas when you don't use their Boogeyman trigger words.
I've been saying that for decades but a lot of marxists are more into the aesthetics of marxism than the actual goals.
More into Groucho than Karl?
Then again, Groucho did say something like 'I would never want to join a club that would admit me as a member.', so perhaps not.
marxists are more into the aesthetics of marxism
Sort of a selection bias.
"The only Marxists I ever see are the ones advertising themselves" implies you might not be looking very hard
They accuse you of their bogeyman trigger words whether or not you advertise it or are even actually doing the bogeyman thing in the first place. I fail to see how this would address that. The words need to be rehabilitated, not avoided, so they lose the knee jerk reaction that the right wing counts on.
I'd be a Marxist if only I had the money they always seem to have laying around.
Dude definitely never understood Animal Farm.
And I missed the satire in this. OP knew what he was doing.
The difference between communism and capitalism is who gets the money without working.
would have been better to not use the word "unify". too transparent.
Even 'labor' is a bit of a giveaway, IMO. Still funny tho
Form an employee company
Like, cooperating at work?
I think being somewhat transparent is the point. You want them agreeing untilnthey get to the end and say "oh", and feel angry/annoyed by the satire, but deep down you're sowing doubts that maybe this does all make sense and that you should investigate it more and get educated.

Nevertheless, excellent shitpost.

Capitalist's workers should rally behind such a great example.
it kinda shows that labels have become a tool to obscure thinking.
No right winger would think that. They like their hierarchies, their classes of people, and some being worth more than others so there is someone to punch down.
Just so long as they are at least one level up. It is why they like to demonize non whites because it's easy and let's the rubes be content to sit at the bottom.
"You have to work your way up! If your stuck at the bottom, it is because you didnt pull your bootstraps hard enough!"
Back in 2016,my BIL told me, "I could be as rich as Trump, I just don't want to work that hard."
...Still lived with his parents at 40.
Way too many comments from people taking this at face value. This is almost formulaic bait.
Between LLM brain rot and COVID, we lost a lot of collective brain power in the last few years
This post is 5 years old
Satire not bait.
I call it bait entirely because of its audience: it's posted to r/Conservatives.
Satire should be perceivable by its intended audience, such that the audience will interact and enjoy it on that meta-level. The expected audience of that subreddit isn't looking for coded messages to unionize. Unless this post was made entirely for the enjoyment of progressive lurkers, which is not as reasonable to assume.
Now now, it might be the first time on the internet for some of these commenters, who have somehow stumbled on Lemmy as the first place they visited.
May god have mercy with their souls
I keep getting called a lefty in our town Facebook group by people with NHS stickers on their profile pictures.
This is really bad for conservative marxist bait ngl
Of course this isn't socialism. It is plain and simple capitalism.
Have Americans been propagandised beyond help?
This is clearly a rage bait post for conservatives lol
It isn't rage bait or whatever. I'm not surprised a lot of Americans can't see it.
This is clearly a bait post in /r/conservative. The author knows exactly what they were doing, lol.
Also yes
Not in this specific instance at least
a surprising proportion at least
Of course his favorite book is animal farm lol
LOAO
When I start my start-up, at some point fucking everyone will get paid the same in proportion to overall company performance. From the cleaning staff to the highest level management fuckers. Because each and everyone is responsible for and contributes to the company's success.
This can work.
For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-51332811
Or to be extra based, distribute accoring to people's socially-necessary labour-time. E.g. pay the 8hr-day person 20% more than the 6hr-day one. Assuming people's productivity is average, which is most often the case.
I can see a counter-argument that it would create an incencitive to spend more time where it could be cut down and, also, wiring worker's paychecks to a sometimes arbitrary and flowing value. Like, you don't need to clean the outdoors property every day, it depends on the weather, and there I can see paying a stable wage reserving person's time and paying for it in case I need to call them even if it's sunny and they don't actually need to go. As long as they do their job well, who cares. They or a company can reinvest in better tools making their actual worktime even shorter or more comfortable, like, jumping from a manual gardening tools to an automated lawnmower, while not punishing them for working less. Some kinds of labor doesn't even necessitate being on site, as it was shown by covid, and we see a lot of ideas to cut down on wages due to LLM assistance.
I'm also puzzled about how uneven my work from day to day, and I'd probably prefer to give up on measuring and comparing that at all, defaulting to some lively wage and pulling enough of myself to keep the business afloat. If the idea of a guy over us is in having similar stakes in the business and collectively voting for changes, I see it's possible to set a fair compensation and keep people interested in the end results.
E.g. pay the 8hr-day person 20% more than the 6hr-day one.
The problem with that is you're going to have a hard time actually telling whether the 8hr-day people is actually really doing more than the 6hr-day people.
Isn't this just capitalism? The value of my labor is independent from how well your company performs. I don't give a fuck about competitors, supply chain issues and other bullshit, I should be compensated for my time, effort, and knowledge alone.
Problem is that you are usually not getting much of the company's profit share since the ones higher up the hierarchy put most of the profits into their own pockets while virtually exploiting the labor of others. So you could actually benefit from a "everyone get's the same amount" policy.
That sounds fine - the problem is just... why leave that up to the bosses?
Yupp. I am also thinking about making the company owned by the employees in the long run. Something like a cooperative.
🤣 This has to be a secret leftist trolling the right. No way someone actually think this is "communism".
When you walk so far to the right, that you are arriving on the left.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but 3 rights make a left!
It makes so much sense even though it doesn't.
I just know maga would hate seeing this if they could read.
I think 🤔 my boss 👨💼 might be a communist 🔴 😫 . So a while 😦 ago, I got my first 👆paycheck 💰 at my new job 👨🍳 at a fast 💨 food 🥘 place. I guess 🤨 it wasn’t too bad, but I did the math 🔢➕🔢 and figured out that I sold 💴 a lot more food 🍔🌭 per hour ⏰ than I got paid 💵 for, even when you account 🔡➖🔢 for the price 💰 of the food 🥩. When I tried 😊 to talk 🗣 to him about it, he said 👤 we’re all part 👥 of one 🖕big team, but 🛑 some people 💁♂️ get paid 💰 more than 💴 others. This is suspiciously 🧐 close 🤨 to the famous “some are more ➕ equal ☑️ than others” from my favorite book, Animal 🐷 Farm 🏡 and is what really 💥 got me thinking 💭 about this. We 👷♀️👷👷♂️ make the money 💰, and then he takes 😡 it and gives 💵 it to someone else 😃 who doesn’t even work 😐. I’m no 🚫 economist ↗️↘️,but this is textbook 📚 socialism 🔴 🤮. I think 🤔 I’ve come 💦 to the conclusion 🛑 that the best ✅ way for me to combat 🔪 these socialist 🤢 business 💴 practices would be 🚸 teaming up 💖 with my fellow workers 🙋 unify out ✊ power 💥 and demonstrate 👨🏫🧑🏫that we understand 🧠 the full 💯 value 🔣 of our labor. Anyone 🧐 else have similar ⬅️➡️ experiences with obviously 🙄 Marxist ❌ 🤦♀️ bosses 👨💼 before, or any other 🔠 advice?
You’ve got too much time on your hands.
What a fucking idiot. His boss is a cheap shitbag MAGAt!
This is the way you troll right-wingers.
I would love to as those comments
