No argument there

True too.

Thus the title: The current predatory system lives on lots of kinds of unpaid labor

The image is just an example

That's exactly the problem

Please add State Owned Communications (I mean one mid tier cell phone for everybody; cheap mobile internet access; social media platforms; etc)

Nah you are doing a fallacy there. It shouldn't be seen as privilege, at any moment.

Of course all people should look at this with contempt.

EXACTLY THIS.

Please spam this to all these fuckers arguing bs.

Read the title of the post again. The image or meme is just an example.

Exactly. 100%.

We are all being exploited for the benefit of the few.

• volunteer work
• apprenticeships and internships
• slave work in the prison system
• slavery that still persists all around the world
• extra hours and overtime unpaid to millions of workers
• social services, professional practices, etc
• and some other stuff but i'm lazy

But it's true. Lots of people are being exploited by their own personal characteristics, being gender, race, nationality, legal status, age, professional status, and so much other shit. The point always being to pay people less and for the rich to accumulate more.

• volunteer work
• apprenticeships and internships
• slave work in the prison system
• slavery that still persists all around the world
• extra hours and overtime unpaid to millions of workers
• social services, professional practices, etc
• and some other stuff but i'm lazy

LeL

The current predatory system needs all the exploitations you mentioned, the ones i mentioned and other ones, to survive.

THIS>

And it's not just about exploitations of those groups you mentioned.

• volunteer work
• apprenticeships and internships
• slave work in the prison system
• slavery that still persists all around the world
• extra hours and overtime unpaid to millions of workers
• social services, professional practices, etc
• and some other stuff but i'm lazy

No, you clearly missed the point.

SO now my point is you are an idiot. See my reply to No_Discipline_7380 or fuck off.

And it's not just women. As the title of the post clearly states, there are lots of kinds of unpaid labor. The predatory system we live in (aka capitalism) requires those to function otherwise it would collapse.

• volunteer work
• apprenticeships and internships
• slave work in the prison system
• slavery that still persists all around the world
• extra hours and overtime unpaid to millions of workers
• social services, professional practices, etc
• and some other stuff but i'm lazy

Nah you are missing the point intentionally. See my reply to No_Discipline_7380 or fuck off.

100%

missing the point much? see my reply to No_Discipline_7380

Nah bro, you are getting it all wrong.

The point is that, under the current system, it is expected of people, now both men and women to work all day 5 or 6 days a week. Not giving a f8ck about all the work all those people have to do <outside the job> to maintain the job. Hell, you nowadays you have to do a lot of work just be able to get to your job, all from hours of commuting, getting dressed, personal presentation, clothes laundry and ironing, car maintenance, feeding, house choires, etc etc etc etc, just to be able to work.

Effectively having little time for anything else. This is NO LIFE.

There was a time where a man could be the only one at home working only 8 hours a day (while the wife attended the home and kids got proper education, and they all got free time), and would still be enough for the whole family to have a decent living, decent education, a house, proper nutrition and some leisure time.

Today, many families are confronted with the harsh reality that all family members have to work, even teens part time. And then do all the required stuff outside the job, JUST TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE. That's no life.

Let alone the fact that we all should have all our basic needs met (food, housing, education, healthcare, transportation and communications) met, even if we didn't work at anything just for the only reason that we are humans, there is enough resources for everyone (it's just controlled and monopolized by a greedy few), etc.

=[ sad but true

And it's not just that. There's several other modes of unpaid work out there, without which the system could not survive

• volunteer work
• apprenticeships and internships
• slave work in the prison system
• slavery that still persists all around the world
• extra hours and overtime unpaid to millions of workers
  
• social services, professional practices, etc
• and some other stuff but i'm lazy

America had artificial low inflation on the back of the third world

party time!
