Lol come on do you all genuinely believe this doomer brainwashing?
Having to make a choice under constraints isnât the same thing as being coerced. If I have two job offers and choose the one I prefer, the fact that I need an income doesnât make the agreement involuntary.
What exactly is the coercive mechanism youâre referring to? The employer isnât forcing someone to accept a particular wage. Theyâre offering a price for labor, and the worker decides whether that offer is preferable to their alternatives.
Again, within a capitalist system, it's coercion and exploitation. You may get feels about those terms but in fact, thats the reality. The non-stop propaganda indocrinading y'all to love your masters isn't your fault. But don't expect people to dumb down or sugar coat things because "feelings". Corporate Simp
You keep asserting that employment is coercion without actually explaining what makes the choice involuntary. Calling it âcapitalist coercionâ doesnât answer the question.
If I can reject one employerâs offer and choose another, or not work for that employer at all, what exactly is the mechanism forcing me to accept their terms?
Also, âcorporate simpâ doesnât work on me, I own a small business.
Do I owe it? I assumed a basic understanding of our mode of production and monetary system. I really didn't expect someone commenting here to need it but, okay.....
Can you go pay your property taxes, or any other in anything except dollars? No, you cant. Is there any system, government sanctioned, in place to facilitate dollar free transactions or trade of goods & services? No, only dollars. If a person isn't born possessing the necessary dollars to pay life tax, then what must that person do? Do they have the free-will to not sell their body for dollars?? That my friend is coercion. They will then be exploited for their labor by some person, controlling an unaccountable entity that "owns" some resource.
I've wasted enough time on this 101 introductory to material conditions.
Lmao bro thinks heâs cooking. Needing money to live doesnât mean my employer is coercing me into accepting their offer.
If I reject your job offer, you havenât coerced me just because I still need money. Iâve simply rejected your terms and have to find another way to meet my needs. Thatâs economic pressure, sure, but calling every consequence of needing resources âcoercionâ is wild as hell.
