    The bourgeoisie takes rights away from the proletariat. The bourgeoisie have outlived there usefulness and the proletariat should rise up against them.

      Yeah but how come workers in Europe, who don’t have guns, have 100X the rights of workers in the US, who do have guns?

      Is it because people with guns are scared little pussies?

      Because, to be honest, that’s how it looks!

        In the US the bourgeoisie is so powerful and have brain washed the people so much that the bourgeoisie feels comfortable letting the proletariat fuck around with guns. All the gun owners are so caught up with being scared of the people the bourgeoisie told them to be scared of that they don’t realize that lgbtq+ community and other races are still more or less in the same bloat and that the bourgeoisie harms them all. One day the tools of the oppressors will be used by the oppressed to gain control.

          One day

          I’ll be honest mate, I’m old and I’ve been hearing this for forty years.

          All that’s happened is that public shootings have increased, dramatically

            I unfortunately agree with this take. Blips of independence here and there get crushed by inexorable legal/monetary punishment of those who disagree with the system.

            I wait quietly for the right opportunity, but am concerned I’ll be waiting for a long time.

          Vacation, illness/disability benefits that pay you for sick days regardless of your job, livable retirement benefits which don’t require investment…

            livable retirement benefits which don’t require investment

            I wasn’t aware that Europe has such a thing. Which European countries? All of them? Certainly it’s being paid for somehow. Americans get retirement in the form of social security. That does require that you pay into it, but I’m assuming the European version does as well, just as a general tax instead of a specific charge. Is the European version based on how much you made while working? What is the program called?

              I said livable. Social security is not livable.

              It’s paid for in Germany through a tax, but not personal investment in a retirement account (maybe my phrasing was unclear). The level of retirement pay is dependent on the time you worked and your pay, but it’s complicated. Someone who works full time for minimum wage will still get enough for healthful survival into old age. Each European country handles things differently.

              Also, parental leave, I don’t know how I missed that one.
