what are some left wing dog-whistles that would fly over a lib’s head but a fellow comrade would pick up on
my personal favorite is the Marx gun quote
“There’s a specter haunting [insert place]”
“Political power grows from the barrel of a gun”
“I wonder how much ten yards of linen costs”
"What if we fire the boss and split their ‘salary’ "
Given the boss is the surplus value stealer and not just a intermediate manager. You know a funny way of saying, “fuck them let’s be a co-op, haha jk jk, unless…”
What is to be done?
“Look, Stalin wasn’t perfect, but…”
Feel like anything about worker ownership works well. When talking to coworkers during the pandemic I pointed out “our bonuses got slashed this year, but executives get paid in stock and the stock went up this year. Why are we tightening the belt when we’re making their money?”
i like to break down to co-workers how much of a check we’d get a week if even a fraction of our gross profit was just paid directly to us (it typically blows our hourly wages out of the water).
I saw a tweet where a pizza place did that for a day to “show appreciation” and they were making like 78 dollars an hour.
