      Someone tells you what to do, and you have to obey or else you lose your housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities.

      This is so wrong. You are not entitled to basic necessities. You have to provide them for yourself, that is the natural order. This is what most of humanity did for milenia via subsistence farming and it sucked.

      Sooner or later people decided that working in a factory sucked a little less than working in the field. Then more recently, people decided working in an office sucked a little less than working in the factory.

      Employment is not slavery. You can quit anytime.

        I think they just want to roleplay some ideology that doesn’t actually exist or possibly function. This is another reminder that comment scores have nothing to do with how sane or correct the comment is lol.

      Yes, because that’s not what happens lol. You don’t immediately lose those things unless you sit around and do nothing. That’s true of literally everything, even communism.

          pay bills past their due.

          I hate that all my bills are like forced automation so I can’t plan out when I can pay them, I’m forced to pay them all at the beginning/end of the month - there’s no options to change the date any more and if you call up and ask, they get all weepy and apologize that they can’t offer a different date to pay.

          So I’m just forced to let them all go through and then play catch up cause of how I get paid not lining up with the end/start of every month.

          Thankfully my job will reimburse me for one of my bills but of course they take fucking forever to process the reimbursement.

          You went off into a completely separate topic. Also union fights for workers, but it does not imply a democracy. It just means being able to fight back against exploitation. There will still be a CEO in charge and you’ll have no say.
