Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.

Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…

The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.

Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?

      Employment is a relationship between two parties regulating the provision of paid labor services. Usually based on a contract, one party, the employer, which might be a corporation, a not-for-profit organization, a co-operative, or any other entity, pays the other, the employee, in return for carrying out assigned work. Employees work in return for wages, which can be paid on the basis of an hourly rate, by piecework or an annual salary, depending on the type of work an employee does, the prevailing conditions of the sector and the bargaining power between the parties.

      Literally the foundation of capitalism you utter mook.

      And that song you posted- “I got to go back to the house, hear that woman’s mouth, preachin’ and a cryin’, tell me that I’m lyin’ about a job”

      Thought some boomer “my wife’s a nag” misogynist humor would strengthen your argument?

          And if you put a quarter as much effort into educating yourself about the fundamentals ML as you do memeing, you’d know that a better line would have been “go contribute your labor to society”.

          I had a feeling your idea of how a “job” works was rooted in the capitalist method, where a instead of labor an employee sells their labor-power to an employer and receives a wage as compensation, but using job/employment interchangeably confirmed it. You’re advocating for a system of designed dependence, where people sell their capacity to work and the employer extracts more value than they compensate for. Any equality between employer and worker is a deception.

          But since memes seem to be your reading level:
