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!

It's not a matter of the work being trivial or not. You're mainly paying for someone's time. The labor itself is extra on top of that. We need to work to put food on the table and have clothing/shelter. If you're spending your time doing work for someone else, then you can't spend that time on necessities, which means your employer has to provide it through your pay.
