The post is satire/trolling.
I was interested, so I found the original post, and the mods there removed all the comments, so you can't see the people falling for it.

Boy, conservatives sure love their free speech.
They really do. Some speech is more free than others.
I got banned from there years ago for asking a question in a comment.
As we speak people are losing their jobs because they said some shit about Kirk boy.
Comes up empty for me

Unfortunately it looks like the commies on Reddit are a bit smarter than your average conservative.
I think this post needs to go on truth social or some Chan type thing.
I just realised I don't know where I would find a den of white supremacists... And I guess thats a good thing. I want to say the words telegram but I'm not sure? Huh. Til
Once upon a time this worked, not for new Reddit threads, sadly.
Gonna start calling landlords "socialists", see what happens
Yeah the comments were also trolls https://www.reveddit.com/v/Conservative/comments/iig9uh/is_my_boss_a_communist/
We should troll them like this a LOT more.
It is absolutely inaccurate to call the capitalist fascist Trump a communist.
The problem is that their ability to ignore obvious contradictions is so immense they sometimes embrace it unironically.
"Russia will take the US without firing a single shot"
This guy/gal's got the right idea. Turns out conservatives agree with a lot of leftist ideas when you don't use their Boogeyman trigger words.
I've been saying that for decades but a lot of marxists are more into the aesthetics of marxism than the actual goals.
marxists are more into the aesthetics of marxism
Sort of a selection bias.
"The only Marxists I ever see are the ones advertising themselves" implies you might not be looking very hard
More into Groucho than Karl?
Then again, Groucho did say something like 'I would never want to join a club that would admit me as a member.', so perhaps not.
They accuse you of their bogeyman trigger words whether or not you advertise it or are even actually doing the bogeyman thing in the first place. I fail to see how this would address that. The words need to be rehabilitated, not avoided, so they lose the knee jerk reaction that the right wing counts on.
I'd be a Marxist if only I had the money they always seem to have laying around.
I wish I could see how many of those mouthbreathers actually took this bait.
I did and I'm not even conservative, just autistic
I'm ADHD but not autistic and had me too until
Unify our power and demonstrate that we understand the full value of our labor
would have been better to not use the word "unify". too transparent.
Even 'labor' is a bit of a giveaway, IMO. Still funny tho
Form an employee company
Like, cooperating at work?
I think being somewhat transparent is the point. You want them agreeing untilnthey get to the end and say "oh", and feel angry/annoyed by the satire, but deep down you're sowing doubts that maybe this does all make sense and that you should investigate it more and get educated.
This has to be a troll but I'll be damned if r/conservative isn't dumb enough to bite
No right winger would think that. They like their hierarchies, their classes of people, and some being worth more than others so there is someone to punch down.
Just so long as they are at least one level up. It is why they like to demonize non whites because it's easy and let's the rubes be content to sit at the bottom.
"You have to work your way up! If your stuck at the bottom, it is because you didnt pull your bootstraps hard enough!"
Back in 2016,my BIL told me, "I could be as rich as Trump, I just don't want to work that hard."
...Still lived with his parents at 40.

Nevertheless, excellent shitpost.

Capitalist's workers should rally behind such a great example.
Way too many comments from people taking this at face value. This is almost formulaic bait.
Satire not bait.
I call it bait entirely because of its audience: it's posted to r/Conservatives.
Satire should be perceivable by its intended audience, such that the audience will interact and enjoy it on that meta-level. The expected audience of that subreddit isn't looking for coded messages to unionize. Unless this post was made entirely for the enjoyment of progressive lurkers, which is not as reasonable to assume.
Between LLM brain rot and COVID, we lost a lot of collective brain power in the last few years
This post is 5 years old
Now now, it might be the first time on the internet for some of these commenters, who have somehow stumbled on Lemmy as the first place they visited.
May god have mercy with their souls
Peak satire 👨🍳👌
This is the way you troll right-wingers.
I would love to as those comments
This is really bad for conservative marxist bait ngl
This is clearly a rage bait post for conservatives lol
This is clearly a bait post in /r/conservative. The author knows exactly what they were doing, lol.
Also yes
Not in this specific instance at least
a surprising proportion at least
The difference between communism and capitalism is who gets the money without working.
Dude definitely never understood Animal Farm.
And I missed the satire in this. OP knew what he was doing.
When I start my start-up, at some point fucking everyone will get paid the same in proportion to overall company performance. From the cleaning staff to the highest level management fuckers. Because each and everyone is responsible for and contributes to the company's success.
This can work.
For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-51332811
Or to be extra based, distribute accoring to people's socially-necessary labour-time. E.g. pay the 8hr-day person 20% more than the 6hr-day one. Assuming people's productivity is average, which is most often the case.
I can see a counter-argument that it would create an incencitive to spend more time where it could be cut down and, also, wiring worker's paychecks to a sometimes arbitrary and flowing value. Like, you don't need to clean the outdoors property every day, it depends on the weather, and there I can see paying a stable wage reserving person's time and paying for it in case I need to call them even if it's sunny and they don't actually need to go. As long as they do their job well, who cares. They or a company can reinvest in better tools making their actual worktime even shorter or more comfortable, like, jumping from a manual gardening tools to an automated lawnmower, while not punishing them for working less. Some kinds of labor doesn't even necessitate being on site, as it was shown by covid, and we see a lot of ideas to cut down on wages due to LLM assistance.
I'm also puzzled about how uneven my work from day to day, and I'd probably prefer to give up on measuring and comparing that at all, defaulting to some lively wage and pulling enough of myself to keep the business afloat. If the idea of a guy over us is in having similar stakes in the business and collectively voting for changes, I see it's possible to set a fair compensation and keep people interested in the end results.
E.g. pay the 8hr-day person 20% more than the 6hr-day one.
The problem with that is you're going to have a hard time actually telling whether the 8hr-day people is actually really doing more than the 6hr-day people.
Isn't this just capitalism? The value of my labor is independent from how well your company performs. I don't give a fuck about competitors, supply chain issues and other bullshit, I should be compensated for my time, effort, and knowledge alone.
Problem is that you are usually not getting much of the company's profit share since the ones higher up the hierarchy put most of the profits into their own pockets while virtually exploiting the labor of others. So you could actually benefit from a "everyone get's the same amount" policy.
That sounds fine - the problem is just... why leave that up to the bosses?
Yupp. I am also thinking about making the company owned by the employees in the long run. Something like a cooperative.
it kinda shows that labels have become a tool to obscure thinking.
LOAO
🤣 This has to be a secret leftist trolling the right. No way someone actually think this is "communism".
When you walk so far to the right, that you are arriving on the left.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but 3 rights make a left!
I keep getting called a lefty in our town Facebook group by people with NHS stickers on their profile pictures.
It makes so much sense even though it doesn't.
I just know maga would hate seeing this if they could read.
What a fucking idiot. His boss is a cheap shitbag MAGAt!
Of course his favorite book is animal farm lol
This has to be a troll.
95% sure is trolling. Yet, I'm also 100% sure a lot of those buffoons will not notice.
Not many smart people left on the sub. Just yes-men.
They've done so many purges in /r/conservative that it's basically communism
Concerned-antocommie is such a troll alt username
It was:
Followed by a logical conclusion that sold this as trolling to me
My thoughts as well, surely there's no way.
But... America.
It's true, but I feel like the dumb ones wouldn't have bothered to read Animal Farm.
It was going great until "I've come to the conclusion..." Gave the whole game away.
Most likely, since he uses communism, socialism, and Marxism interchangeably
Post up for 2 minutes, no votes shown. Definitely a troll post and probably screencapped by whoever made it before it was removed.
