>Create a fake business and open new checking accounts that give you $$$ for direct deposits

Along the same lines, work as an independent contractor or self employed if you can and then you can write off your normal daily expenses for taxes by claiming them as a business expense.

All thats needed to fend of the IRS leeches is some bs paperwork proving it was a business expense. And save some extra money from the taxes youre saving on in the future. That way if you ever do get audited, you can buy a fancy lawywer to fend off the leeches. In the end you'll still be net positive depriving defenseporkies of your tax dollars, be a true a patriot and avoid your taxes.

>>431
Also pay the statement balance on the credit card every month to avoid interest. Never pay the minimum only as they rape you with taxes on that. You can pay the full balance if you have the money, but theres no real additional benefit over paying the statement balance.

If you ever get hit with a fee, call the fucks and threaten to cancel the card and theyll usually waive it. Ive had 100s waived in fees and interest before if you just act like you forgot to check.

>>432
Also learn how to do basic maintenance and repairs yourself and you can save a few hundred. Its not hard to change fluids, just get those fucking car ramps and some jack safeties and unscrew the drain plug, change the oil filter and top-off. There are manuals for your car you can find online to help.

Mechanics dont do anything special and half the time they fuck up more than they do a proper job. Just do it yourself.

Or if youre in an area with low/slow car traffic get a scooter. My insurance for the scooter is literally 35$ for the YEAR.

Only works in burgerstan maybe. Here being an indipendent contractor is a way for businesses to fuck you over harder.

Are universities just glorified capitalist labor camps? How can people not see the obvious corruption and collusion with the bourgeoisie. They merely serve as supplies of labor reserve armies and even stemlords cant get jobs easy now.

Will communists eliminate these rotten institutions?

>Fortunately this isn't really the case, but if it is it's exactly the problem.
It's to the extent to which they're non-industrial that they're able to create beyond the myopic views of industry.
If it did serve industry, industry would need to reinvent it as something separate from it.

On the individual level it's this non-industrial attitude gives freedom, and with it meaning to the enterprise.
What meaning can there be in a world in which decisions are made by an impersonal dictatorial force.
When will we escape the totalitarian logic of rationality, of economics, and be free.

"They give more agency to the markets than they do to themselves"

This anti-industrial attitude is exactly what university promotes and they create excess laws to bar youth from industrial affairs
That's what creates the short sighted view of how the world works

This whole "industriality is the opposite of the arts" is a common marketing tactic

That's actually working class adults who think that

I will never get tired of posting this Engels letter. The whole thing is revealing but this sentences is my favorite:
>> The biggest obstacles are the small peasants and the importunate super-clever intellectuals who always think they know everything so much the better, the less they understand it.

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

Well, guess the idea was if folks knew what was inside then it wouldn't particularly benefit my resume which is already pretty technical and certified but has a dire lack of real world experience, and a huge gap in it. Sorry for distracting from OPs question by being ugh.

>>621
data analytics is cooked because of all the retards who made day in the life tiktok vids about it. there are no jobs left and its oversaturated, do something else

I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.

I've seen things like The Wizard Book, Rust, LISP, R-something (used a lot in science?), Python (apparently old now and there's something newer Paul Cockshott uses?)…

I just want to be able to bash things together to prove points on the fly.

But I did Arts as a degree and theatre through school so I'm cooked ;_;

This would make me p. sad if it was true.

>I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.
Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.
The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

>>647
Just learn Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

how does one go about getting a job as a carnie? a traveling fair person? a worker who works at one of these? I had a one night stand (well two night) with a chick who did this, so i know it's still a viable thing

how to get carnie poon, tell us ur secrets bro

Humblebrag thread.

You could invest in a ride and truck it to festivals, otherwise you need connections because I imagine they're petty bourgeois so they wouldn't really hire random people off the street unless they were desperate, maybe you could just try go to a carnival an talk to some carnies

was she hot tho?

lol if youre going to be a petit bourgeois at least get a job that pays well

Seeking good contract language protecting political activity and speech to reduce the risk of getting fired over being a communist or anti-zionist. My workplace is majority anti-zionist Jewish people with a plurality of reds. A handful of zionist and rightoid pricks really hate that fact and keep trying to wield management against us and call in outside zionist orgs for backup because our existence fucks with their messaging that all Jewish people support Israel.
We're in the US and I expect the attempts at purging leftists to get worse in the future. Any good examples of protections we could copy? Also, general suggestions on things to definitely fight to have in our contract are welcome.

To make it more clear: we're unionized and almost done forming the bargaining committee and starting negotiations. There's strong buy-in from members for political protections because even the resist lib types are scared of getting retaliated against these days.

Im a man and I DO consider myself, really, very manly. But I genuinely suffer daily, or extended angst, because my "material conditions of existence" don't allow me to ,not even TRY OUT FOR, extreme manly lifestyles….
Special unit active-War soldier, SWAT team member\SORT member, or even mma\bluhurt\rugby amateur player. non-violent yet extreme jobs like Underwater Welder, altitude rescue\medicine missions. etc
WTF Am I supposed to do? i changed and suited my whole lifestyle to be manlier: diet, sleep pattern, exercise type, so on.
>inb4 being a rEAl Man is about being a (((householder)))
No. Im Celibate.

Goon or jack off or whatever

Dont fall for that psyop unless you want lifelong joint pain. Judt be average eith some muscles

you literally cant become "alpha" or "chad" or "le real man" the second you start getting all insecure and fretting over if you got the sauce or not. A so called real men doesn't question if he is one cause he just knows that shit already and doesn't feel a need to question it or prove it others.

Do you consider certain jobs off-limits, for youself or in general from the perspective of a leftist or for personal reasons, such as military, the defense industry, banks, maybe even the meat industry or the work in capitalist governments?

Do you think that there is a point in entryism into those spaces?

Do you judge people based on the profession they chose, independent of their personal circumstances or do you take that into account even if it's probably? Is there a difference if you are talking to someone who 'should know better' i.e. is a self-styled class- or otherwise politically conscious person?

Should a leftist who can't afford or sustain to be a 'professional revolutionary' seek out professions that seek to 'ameliorate' the worst effects of capitalism, like social work, teaching etc.?

Or is just obsessing over the ethics of one's job just moralist lifestylism, akin to 'ethical consumerism' and basically 'anything goes' since the profanition is considered absolute?


What are your thoughts on these points?

yeah joining some reformist party is par for the course for your types

What if it's a radical party that even is kind of spicy (like being observed by intelligence services for having contacts to what the government considers foreign actors and 'antagonist governments')

>>392
sounds just as impotent lol, you think proletarians associate over ideas and not necessity?

>>393
You think there is no necessity for radical political parties?

what's the actual real answer according to you?

I work at a shitty grocery store in an even shittier area. People come in who are completely illiterate and need to be walked through each step of paying. Basically everyone uses foodstamp payment and we get robbed every single day whether it's the carts and baskets getting carried off or someone running out the front with food.

Is it anti-Marxist to prevent shoplifting? Should I just ignore people blatantly stealing when I am working the self checkout machines?
7 posts omitted.

>>323
You shouldnt usually for your own safety. Many homeless people have nothing to lose so they stab you for less than stopping them from shoplifting. Then if all the lumpen know you wont stop them from shoplifting it could encourage them to shoplift even more during the hours you work and situation can get out of control. Its not an easy yes or no question.

>>342
illiterate retard award

It's not your problem. Do be careful to not lose your job though. There's also a chance that the branch becomes too unprofitable and ends up closing, and that means you lose your job, so if someone is constantly stealing expensive shit all year it might be in your best interests to intervene. Otherwise fuck them boojs

>>342
Dumbass

>>323
imo, you should close an eye as long as you dont realistically (that is, not out of paranoia or bootlicking/stockholm syndrome with bosses impulses) jeopardize your position and that of your work mates. You otherwise, you dont benefit from stopping shoplifting as you are going to be paid the same, the only one that could loose is the porky in question, which is already gaining more than he should. i personally call shoplifting from porky redistribution of wealth

>is it anti-Marxist
lmao
Dude, Marxism is not some kind of lifestyle movement or religion. Anyway, just let them shoplift. You have no incentive to stop them unless your store has a fucked up policy where people are fired to make up for losses.
