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!

From essential workers to unskilled labor in one year!

Why can't it be both? Just because the work you do can be done by anyone with minimal training, doesn't mean it can't be necessary work for society to function properly.

Because if they really were essential, they wouldn't be paid slave wages.
