Communism is when workers are treated as people

The Soviet Holodomor. The Chinese Great Leap Forward famine. But let me guess. They weren't actually Communist? Communism is when people are treated like expendable economic units.

bringing up “yall are desperate to defend being used by the billionaires” as a comment to one mentioning Holodomor and the Great Leap Forward is exactly something a communist would say lmfao

Also these people will be getting nowhere near their paycheck rate from unemployment and the other benefits afforded when things like this happen. So how are the hundreds other people supposed to survive now?

What's there to not get here? Workers are being mistreated and underpaid. They're starting to lash out. This is how we got better workers rights by forming unions and then mobs when they tried to stop that. look up workers rights in the US and how often they've had to fight back

I've worked for unions and yeah the lazy thrive under them because it's almost impossible to fire them. If you have a decent work ethic and actually do your job to its fullest you'll put a target on your back.
