The labor market is indeed regulated by that supply and demand. That is a foregone conclusion. However, that doesn’t guarantee necessarily higher wages and thus higher quality of life, proportionately speaking.
That itself is a struggle over whether “general profit”, after accounting for wages, is reinvested for the social needs, such as housing, food and water, education.
Assuming that “general profit” (savings) + wages (needed for laborers’ means of subsistence) = value created.
And assuming wages are sufficient enough for higher quality of life.
But put into the equation the landlords, the shareholders, industrialists that dominate our world by virtue of owning the property that shapes it, who want to depress wages, if it means more “general profit”, and direct their savings towards more capital accumulation

A sense of what the geopolitical fowks on Hexbear believe in, go to !news@hexbear.net, specifically their megathreads (sometimes they reach 1000 comments, sometimes maybe 2 or 3 kilos)
for lemmygrad.ml’s beliefs, just check any news area there (no big megathreads there; tis a small site there)
I find it crazy that people want me to strip off an article of of clothing and I’m the rude one for not doing it.
Get yer muddy, snowy shoes off my fucking floor or I will use castle doctrine to legally force you out
I’ll give you some authorized home flip flops if you feel uncomfortable, aight?
Also carpet is an abomination.
Agreed tho if its everywhere… Wood is good
Ultra rich wealth/land hoarders/exploiters
upper mid-level wealth/land hoarders,
Depends, there’s many in history that can fit the bill (eg. feudal lords (crop rent), industrial capitalists (factory profit), slaveowners (goods and free labor profit), and aristocracy of finance and land (money interest and land rent) )
Their immediate managers, facilitators
Professional managerial class, or compradors for the main dominant capitalist group (eg. the West) / hegemonic capitalist group
Average workers & Average people who are dissatisfied?
Proletariat and lumpenprole?
Let’s see here
includes grande (big) and moyenne (medium) bourgeoisie, but essentially they are medium (regional/national) and large (global) capitalists, that mainly rely on industrial profit, if not landed rend, and financial interest, based around growing industrial and financial production
Though I consider bourgeoisie in its western context, to specifically refer to the first modern form in Europe, birthed from the Medieval period
Bourg-eois --> Bourg derives from the medieval German term for “city”, as they derived from the growing cities of their era
a small business owner (only a handful of businesses directly owned by them)
wage/salaried laborers who depend heavily on their wage/salary, lest a few days/weeks leave em destitute and homeless
They are historically converted from the destruction of peasants, yeomanry, guild craftsmen, apprentices and mentors, during the progressive bourgeois revolution against feudalism.
Originally, in Rome, such term was derived from those citizens who made offspring to serve the Roman slave mode of production
despite its name, it is a similarly newly-created class of capitalism, more destitute and ruined than the proletariat, defined by a lack of official joblessness and stability, which include people from the simply unemployed and unhoused to criminals, strike-breakers, prostitutes, and gangsters
They are a wild card that can ally with either bourgeois or proletariat forces
Lumpen (rabble) + proletariat
If there’s one moderate critique, it doesn’t say much when it comes to political bias ratings, which are often U.Sian centric
Like here are the 3 axes of politics to me
Economic Policy (Base)
{Domestic} Culture and Government Structure Policy (Superstructure)
Foreign Policy (Western or Eastern Alignment
But I can’t understand anything when it merely comes to left and right, like in what way are they leftist or rightist, are they economically socialist/capitalist and anti-western/pro-western in foreign policy in such way too, or merely when it comes to culture and gov’t policy?
technically true
“So, per rental unit, this is much cheaper than the average one in Canada?”
Caught in a landslide, no escape from Redditerie
Ok I’m an idiot, for thinking of this in the first place… lmao, I stand corrected.
Idk, maybe like all U.Sians traditions, this was an Old-World British thing Americans preserved, since it’s a more direct term of the English language, more direct than Day then Month
so unless it’s a special day, if not holiday, for U.Sians like 4th of July, by default, Month then Day
