>Prices keep going up
🤓 Ah, but prices are not active. Prices don't move, Prices are moved. People who set prices are making the decisions to raise them.
>how are retarded wagies putting up with this
I don't want to exaggerate the importance of this, but surely a part of it is talking about price changes like planets doing their thing in the sky :P

>This is could be applied to rationalize believing in God as a personal mandate.
How? There is a world independent of human thought. That world is composed of material reality, which exists whether or not individuals believe in it. "God," on the other hand, would only exist in that person’s mind. This framework can't be used to rationalize God as a personal mandate because God is an abstraction that doesn’t directly engage with the material world or its contradictions. Dialectical materialism, by its nature, begins with material reality, not abstract concepts. Religion may emerge from material contradictions—like alienation and oppression—but it doesn’t produce the kind of tangible, historical change that dialectical materialism analyzes.Similarly, neither God, liberalism, nor capitalism can be rationalized through dialectics as eternal truths. Liberalism and capitalism emerged from specific material conditions, and while they have shaped historical development, they are not immutable. Dialectical materialism offers a method for understanding the material world and the historical process, not a belief in unchanging abstract principles.

There is still much about physics we don't know about
We only just began discovery of the subatomic realm. And political/economic systems aren't even agreed upon by their mere definition.

It’s true that there’s still much we don’t know about the subatomic world. But that uncertainty doesn’t disprove dialectical materialism. The real question isn’t whether science uncovers new phenomena—it’s whether those discoveries materially affect human productive activity and social relations.Take Carbon-14: its radioactive decay had no bearing on human life for most of history. It only became socially relevant once humans discovered it and integrated it into scientific labor—radiocarbon dating. It crossed from the natural domain into the social.Subatomic and quantum physics may eventually follow suit—quantum computing, for example, could restructure parts of our economy. But until such breakthroughs shape production, they remain at a level of existence detached from daily life. Dialectical materialism deals with the mutual development of humans and nature, mediated through labor—not abstract metaphysics.The claim that political and economic systems aren’t “agreed upon by definition” misses the point. Social systems aren’t sustained by philosophical consensus; they persist because humans build, participate in, and transform them through material activity. Whether or not we define them the same way, they exist—and we live in their consequences.

>I was looking more for suggestions outside of the legal field since the laws are different here
Ah, then just use IWW material to start with. It's easy, free, accessible, and plain language.

Is it possible to organize a workplace with a lot of Trump supporters? Is it even worth it in that case?

My grandpa was an italian immigrant to argentina. He was a gardener, a waiter, a bricklayer… He worked all day, had a family, and on its free time he build his own house alone with one friend while living on the slums in the meantime. That's the reality of our situation anon, we have to sell our labour, but we can get good at it, be more efficent, learn to be strong in life and not surrender our free time to depression because we have to sacrifice minimum 8 hours a day for the motherfuckers. Don't surrender, even if we might fight all the time, in this board we are all with you in spirit of comradery, we understand what it means to despair at the prospect of being a shitty precarious worker for all life, at least i do, and i pass you all my appreciation, understanding, and the small strength i got spare for you. But we still got to move on, and as workers, we got the privilege of truly understanding and genuinely love the small things in life. For me is when i go out with my cousins and my nephew laughs and plays around, when i take a coffe with my grandpa and he tells me his stories. Something as small as going to the local bar, asking for a drink and reading a novel for me, with time, became a fond memory. At that time i was aspiring to some more intense form of pleasure, maybe i am resignated, but i truly remember that time as peaceful and enjoyable, and at least i dont want to kill myself thanks to those little things. Slowly but surely, as we mature out of this childish state we were born into, we will grow strong and maybe the old great ones, like marx, lenin, mao, fidel… maybe with time we can make them proud in the uncertain future, better late than never, but we got to build the conditions in our life, step by step.

salutations to all the comrades dispairing, i offer my full support and all my spare strenght, even if it is a very little thing!!!!!

use canva pre-made pdf, edit it a bit to your liking, export it as png and then you can add images using paint.net which is a simple and free editing program. Then save what you did as png, and then google png to pdf and use whatever service. when it's time to change, just re-do the process editing the first cv you made on canva, and then selecting and copypasting the images from the old cv to the new cv, very easy because they will be same size so the image will automatically be pasted in exactly the same place as before

>unionized at their cool fancy high paid tech positions
fake and gay, programmers are too busy trying to get ahead of others to ever unionize

>>1011
Unemployed workers can work as unionizes that move from a workplace to the other

buckle up new bill is going to raise taxes on the poor by 70%

This will just make everyone's wages go up by 130% or more.

Its your civic duty to pay taxes. If you want billionaires to pay taxes, then so must you. As Albert einstein said: Be the change you want to see in the world. Jk.

Depends on your income streams, assets, and costs. How do you usually get income and how much? The anons about hiring a consultant and making a business are also age old advice. You can do quite a bunch of things, like depreciate assets, shit like this. Depends on your situation.

I'm in the process of doing something like this.

Reconciling your capital gains tax is prolly an S-tier tax dodging move. It's how Trump paid 0 taxes for a few years. It's pretty sad that people don't take advantage of losses on investments. Basically, the way it's set up is that every dollar you lose is money in the bank.

That's just the way the law's written.

I was listening to a nonprofit broadcast take callers, which is probably the most interesting thing you could do. One of the callers was saying that he makes 120k a year with a take home pay of 90-something, that his house was decent, but not really that impressive. The caller said he was sending two kids off to college, and that he's not been able to enjoy his life because of his financial stress.

Seems like a substantial political loss.

Fuck the trade unions, all for the class unions.

Sounds based, hope they succeed

That's cool, but unrelated to communism.

a worker-owned co-op developing open-source medicine is literally communization in action comr8

fuck off

This is very cool. We should do the same for HIV meds.

Depends but I think mostly no. Obviously armed yea, but most are just unarmed sentries just there to notify the cops. If you are open to night shifts there might be a lot of opportunity for that kind of work wear you literally don't have to talk to anyone your whole shift.

Cum. In my ass. Now.

Because those kind of jobs are just used as some hangout space.
Alot of employees and managers see the job as a financial hobby to do or a stepping stone to better work.

The moment this site bans tor users, is the moment it improves 10 fold.

Its sad that retail and restaurant workers tend to laugh or smirk when I call them "Ma'am" or "Sir". Like they're in disbelief by the acknowledgement of their humanity from a fucking customer. People really do just put them through the ringer. Unironically emotional labor.

classism? its some kind of holdover from when aristocrats treated 'the help' like subhuman animals, but now you get to be the aristocrat when off work and people at work are the subhuman. the wonders of capitalism
