It’s really a hill I will die on. For reference, I’m literally a money abolitionist. I state that because in the past, I’ve had other leftists raise their brows at that lol. But money shouldn’t exit. Full stop.
But with that said, it’s the society we live in. What we earn as income should be directly proportional to our cost of living. People lose their shit over the argument that minimum wage in the states should technically be $30/hour or whatever but that amount is really not even the argument. The argument is that is cost so fucking much in the states to just merely exist. This is not even getting into the argument that, yes, all wages should have increased a long time ago. The minimum wages is literally supposed to be what you need to earn in order to live comfortably and also be able to save.
AES states(Cuba and China as examples) that actually provide for their people don’t have profit healthcare or schools because those are SERVICES. They are rights. You take all of the stuff like that out of the equation and people just simply need less money. And that money all goes towards entertainment and hobbies, etc. Westoids just can’t comprehend having a built in right to necessary needs and it’s sad.
Sidenote but I think a lot of us weren’t as culturally shocked by the RedNote propaganda wall coming down as other westerners not quite radicalized, but damn the Chinese users on that platform seem just chill as fuck and just all around happy and it’s in no small part due to their living in a country that actually provides, I can guarantee. I’m legit jealous. I’d be curious about the amount of mental illness there compared to the States. I know a lot of my depression is a result of living in a system that constantly tries to kill me.
