Comment on The Peasant Life

  OP isn’t posting in support of workers rights.

  It is some thinly veiled attempt at suggesting workers are worse off today than when we were peasants. Which is complete horseshit and a typical trope of commies who want us to tear down our institutions.

    There have obviously been tons of other improvements, but paid leave is not one of them. That’s the only point of this post, but instead of just accepting it, you have to turn it into some narrative about the Communist Manifesto. It’s just a meme about not getting vacation days.

      The USA is not the world. Not having paid leave is almost exclusively a US problem in the western world.

        …I agree? I’m in Canada myself. What’s ‘communist’ about saying people should paid leave, if you agree it’s so ubiquitous? Seems weird to take offense to it then.
