Given that I make it clear that I personally disagree with corporate nitpicking over small time stuff like this, and point out that their imagined loss in company profits are stolen production value of the proletariat anyway…
can I take your swearing at me and telling me to be silent to mean that you yourself support the company in its demands that employees make up lost time by working late?
Or, do you agree with me, but Lemmy perhaps is more like Reddit than we would wish it to be, where sometimes we don’t actually read what people say, not taking on onboard the content of their message, unless it’s very short?
(I get that a lot to be fair, I’m told ADHD makes me a little verbose - I just like to lay my thoughts out with no room for misunderstanding haha)
I think I made my stance against this anti-worker practice clear. I began by laying out my own experience here in the UK with my previous employers (who I note consider us wageslaves) which, while it may not be your own experience, doesn’t change what has happened to me, and went on to explain their perspective (flawed and at odds with the proletariat as I show it is), then went on to make clear that their perspective isn’t my own.
…Is it a social crime to try to understand why our adversaries think the way they do?
…Should we all simply shout about how much we dislike the evils brought about by our late stage capitalist overlords, but never once pick apart why they do what they do, why they think the way they do, and discuss it amongst ourselves?
I’m not deep or particularly smart, nor do I stand out in any meaningful way in my understanding of worker’s history, laws, or how to fight for our rights.
But if I, an average worker who grew up in Manchester, a labour movement hotspot, one who reminds their colleagues of the Peterloo Massacre lest we forget those lessons, one who invites them to visit our People’s History Museum to see our history of unions, strikes, and fights for our rights, …if I can’t join the discussion with any allowed response other than “They’re evil, but let’s not try to understand why so that we might better fight for each other”, what have we, as a workers movement, become?
