"Petit Bourgeoisie" as socialists name them are an annoying thorn in their side. Someone selling their own labor, reaping the rewards, and also seeing their taxes getting squandered really opens their eyes to how retarded communism is.

Even if the tradesman works under someone, the visibility of what bosses/owners do is much more apparent. The risks, investments etc. are easier to understand and it blows out the oppressor/oppressed grift that Communists rely on. Especially when the boss can be like "I'd welcome the competition if you ran your own business, but it's hard for these reasons so be aware of that."

The fact a tradesman can own their own labor basically shits in the communists face. It shows how market capitalism can work well.

This either didn't happen (as often is the case with Redditor stories), or they were acting like a massive freak that warranted the interruption.

I've known teachers who took class toys/plushies on trips, including male teachers. They'd take photos in silly situations to show the kids and then the toy would be placed back in the bag.

My point is, if you have a Big Ben plushie and take a picture of it next to Big Ben, people might look at you funny for the whole 2 minutes you do it. So this person probably was doing something else.

They know someone in the bizz who went solo and now has to spend every weekend doing the admin, had to take a loan for his own van, etc. The whole "the owner can only make money because he takes excess value from your labor" argument doesn't work if you work in a small company in which you can see the boss taking the risks while you're safe taking a regular salary. And self-employed or small business owners are the ones that notice the most how much the government takes on top of payroll tax, while also giving them extra expenses through regulations.

Exactly. Once you see these things it's hard to unsee them. Obviously it scales up to larger businesses too, but they're also shitty for other reasons. Namely responsibility gets so diluted and passed around in really big orgs so bullshit can happen more easily (that and getting in bed with papa government.)

Still this and the general Labor Theory of Value can be debunked with a small amount of thinking and noticing. I struggle to understand how Communists don't think through it or excuse the obviousness of it. Even if they're working a minimum wage or other low responsibility job, surely they can understand that business owners do something, even if it is just own the risk.

One part is them being young and stupid. They're stuffing hundreds of dollars in the cash register, and only take a fraction of that home. Meanwhile the manager seems to just sit in the office and comes out to rag on them. Then they go to college and this really smart guy that's teaching them all these new things also tells them about communism.
And the professor doesn't talk about a mom and pop shop with a hired hand, he talks about how general motors makes millions while there are still people starving on the streets.

I think a lot of people also forget that a system needs to be based around the fact people try to exploit it, not around the fact everyone will support it. The commune fails if the glasscutter doesn't just give you spectacles for free because he thinks it's fun.
 
My favorite part of the reddit theory of labor that under it a CEO without stock options is technically a wage worker and part of the proletariat, while a lumberjack who owns nothing more than the clothes on his back, his work boots and his axe is part of the petite bourgeois because he owns the means of production. In fact, freelance dog workers with functional legs should be considered one too.

Well just look at him, of course he was. I'm assuming that's him in the profile pic and not the profile header.

After reading that post it's obvious that kid needed to be slapped years before. He's the son of a single mom and has no respect for her and probably no other adults, he's going to be in prison before he's 25 and be a drain on society.
 
Steam Decks exhaust fans have a plastic/metallic, but oddly pleasant, smell. It's a meme in the community, especially when a person gets a new Deck, to take a big sniff of the fans.

So this guy 3D printed a fucking face mask that blows the exhaust from his Steam Deck directly into his nose.
That’s ozone and will give you cancer and brain damage.

Isn't ozone produced with high energy lights like a scanner light? Could just be volatile chemicals from the plastic production process. Either way it's not smart to huff chemicals even if they smell pleasant.

It’s produced by any discharge that happens in the air. It’s why offices have a distinct ‘office smell’. Fan motors create tiny arcs as they speed up and slow down, but my post was more of a joke. I don’t think those fans produce much ozone to be harmful, and the smell could be more from the plastic. But either way, should not be sniffing volatile chemicals for fun.
 
because he takes excess value from your labor" argument doesn't work if you work in a small company in which you can see the boss taking the risks while you're safe taking a regular salary.
Also, if you work for yourself and there’s a mistake you have to go back and fix it’ll be at your expense. If you go back and you’re on a salary you still get paid to go back.

A lot of these small businesses will also let you keep and use your work vehicle for personal use including paying for the fuel.
