"In antiquity slaves were, in all honesty called slaves. In the middle ages, they took the name of serfs. Nowadays they are called wage earners."
—Mikhail Bakunin

The Recucklican mind could never understand this.
Also #socialism is when #Facebook #censors your posts. 
Starting Monday, for the first time in three years I'm taking a vacation without my work laptop, and I won't be answering email or calls. The idea is causing me a lot of unexpected anxiety, which might be the oposite of vacation. I'm going to have to relearn how to do this. #wageslave #legoland
#UK’s richest family get jail terms for exploiting staff
A Swiss court has sentenced four members of the wealthy Hinduja family to up to four years and six months in #jail on Friday for exploiting their domestic #workers.
Members of the family were accused of trafficking mostly-illiterate domestic workers from India, confiscating their passports, and forcing them to work 16-hour days in their Geneva villa without overtime pay.

Years ago, when I was a dance teacher, I applied for work at a local dance studio. They told me that if I worked for them, I wasn’t allowed to teach dance anywhere else. I asked them if they were going to pay me enough that I could afford not to work elsewhere. They said no. So I said no, too. Kinda hard to eat on the proceeds of a couple of one-hour classes a week. Dancing was how I made enough money to live.
Later on, they decided they would hire me anyway, even though they didn’t like that I also taught at seniors centres, community centres, and other dance/fitness studios.
It still boggles me that employers can presume they own you. It makes me realize they want slaves, not employees. #capitalism #WageSlave #dance #GigEconomy

#WageSlave stats!
"One-third of Americans with credit card debt say no one else knows how much they owe, according to a new report.
The nation’s credit card balance hovers around $1 trillion, and interest rates routinely top 20 percent. A typical American household now carries around $10,000 in card debt, by one recent WalletHub estimate. A rising share of cardholders carry a balance from one month to the next." https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4068846-americans-are-hiding-their-credit-card-debt/
Cheer now fool. You're next. If you actually try to force changes like an End to (X) War, or Better Wages (#wageslave), or any old thing your rulers feel threatened about.
"Former #ProudBoys leader Enquire Tarrio was convicted on seditious conspiracy charges alongside three other leaders of the right-wing group in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol ... sufficient to justify the conviction for attempting to overthrow the government." https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/3987941-tarrio-and-other-proud-boys-convicted-of-seditious-conspiracy/

Accumulated enough JUNK yet, #wageslave?
It'd be a SHAME if your not-really-a-BANK collapsed. 
My partner has COVID but because he only gets three sick days, he has to go into work tomorrow. He can’t afford to go without pay. What a hateful, cruel system capitalism is. This is unconscionable. #eugenics #WageSlave #MaskUp #PandemicIsNotOver
