Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

None of the icons in this meme are classed as "unskilled labour".

A farmer? a bricklayer? are you fucking joking?

Do you have any idea how much a bricky gets paid. Probably more than you.

Another classic case of arrogant internet socialists with zero real world experience letting the mask slip.

You missed the entirety of the point then.

Leftists aren't calling any of the pictures "unskilled". Capitalists are.

I didn't make this. If you're incapable of looking past a minor inaccuracy to reach the point of "all labor requires skill and everyone deserves a living wage" then I don't know what to tell you. You're getting offended about farmers being pictured. I grew up working on my dad's farm. I've manned cash registers. I've worked in kitchens. Guess what? I'm not offended by this post, despite knowing that some of these jobs are relatively skilled.
