Corporations: steal tens-of-billions from employees who're just barely scraping by

Me/you: shoplifts can of soda/bag of chips which should be priced at $2-3 according to inflation, rather than it's listed price of $4-7

Atlantic Magazine: [hand on hip wagging finger in face] "How dare you? There are rules that govern society, young man/lady, this is simply unacceptable."

There is missing an area even biger than wage theft. Tax evasion. When cooperations and rich people steal from the gouvernment.

Wage theft and tax evasion are just the nominal theft, the real theft is surplus value extraction.

Someone seems to have vandalised his wiki. "Extreme communist"

I like how simply calling him a communist is not enough, they need to call him an "extreme" communist to make extra sure that people think twice before supporting him.

In reality he's more like a Mamdani Democrat that sometimes quotes Mao to make his democratic socialism appear more radical than it actually is, but obviously that is lost on all the 5-year-olds.

Extreme communist implies there is a moderate communist.

"We need proletarian revolution, but we should have a referendum on it first"

Everyone from .ml, grad and hexbear must be so jealous that he got the coveted title of Extreme Communist before them.

And then he is not even that extreme, so it's watering down the title.

How does Hasan Piker get the title communist?
Has he even ever advocated for a socialist revolution?

I blocked everything from the Atlantic a year ago. Deeply unserious, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. They are clearly propaganda for the class that needs to be guillotined.

I've been convinced the primary purpose of The Atlantic, for at least 15 years, has been to literally craft the mindscape by which rich liberals maintain their wholly undeserved sense of moral and intellectual superiority.

You could just call it 'Hoity Toity Tut-Tut Tutorials For Your Next Social Outing'.
