Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Are you confusing farmers with farm labourers? One runs a highly specialist business, one just needs to pick strawberries.

Picking strawberries is hard when your back, feet scream for pain every time.

...and yet, (almost) everyone has a back and a pair of feet. Hence, unskilled. Doesn't matter much if it's Elon Musk, my next door neighbor or some teen from Thailand picking strawberries. The value of their input labour will be the same in this context.
