It’s kinda funny how the minimum wage is set below all the standards for a living wage lol. Although not very relevant, heres a fun fact: unemployment is a function of capitalism. A reserve of surplus labor is maintained to keep workers expendable. In the USSR, this was eliminated in favor of full employment
minimum wage is set below the living wage because they're not to be used as a full time supplemental income, they're in place for the bare minimum amount of work for the bare minimum amount of pay
The “living wage” is supposed to be the bare minimum. But I’m not going to argue over if minimum wage should be raised or lowered. Capitalists are stealing you, and every other working persons money. How do you justify them taking any money at all when the workers are the individuals who create the commodities being sold?
**Freeze peach** enables the return of regressive policies. Socialism turned Russia into an industrial power almost comparable to the US in around two decades, allowed people free access to their basic necessities, rapidly improved literacy, and produced great contributions to the scientific community throughout the 20th century
Lol the mass poverty, illiteracy, constant famine, and bureaucracy of Tsarist Russia was better? The USSR had a similar rate of a caloric consumption to the US, and people were guaranteed access to a home and education
@☭ Anon ☭ ***you do realize why were able to have this argument on this platform is due to capitalism and the ability of a free market in the united states right?***
