Hackers Are Spamming Businesses’ Receipt Printers With ‘Antiwork’ Manifestos

Dozens of printers across the internet are printing out a manifesto that encourages workers to discuss their pay with coworkers, and pressure their employers.

www.vice.com

All linking back to a subreddit, r/antiwork, these receipts print out with messages encouraging workers to organize and communicate for better wages and conditions.

It sucks that it took a global pandemic to wipe out a bunch of people for workers to realize that workin for a dime while the boss makes a dollar is kind of a shitty deal but hey, progress is progress.

A Specter is haunting Printers......the specter of communism....or socialism...or unionism.....possibly the printer gnomes. The Printer gnomes might be communist, or maybe communards, I'm not really sure.

I would take a guess that the people directly doing this aren't communists because they actually did something. They are definitely being manipulated by communists though.

Yes, the communists, famous for not doing much of anything.

So Communists do or don't do stuff? Because if they're manipulating then they're definitely doing stuff.

Also does that mean the USSR wasn't communist? Because they did a lot of stuff.

I'm confused.

I thought that was philosophy majors.

But the Gnomes help fight the communist not for them, come on now.

The cheeky gnomes taking over Wrocław

Cute as they may be, each statue is a nod to the Orange Alternative, an anti-Soviet resistance movement that helped bring down Poland’s oppressive communist regime in the 1980s.

Modern ones seem most interested in setting things up so they can do as little as possible for as big a pay out as possible.........

I thought that was philosophy majors.

There's a difference?

So where'd all the gulags come from, Craigslist?

The not communists because the gulags were built by communists or so we keep being told because #realcommunismhasneverbeentried

It's true, the Soviet Union had prisons.

What pensions? The only people still getting pensions as part of their compensation packages are government employees.

What statements do you disagree with?

In the year 2021, absolutely. This isn't connected to 20th century genocide, it's connected to reddit. Reddit is great because it's got a community for basically anything, but it's also terrible because it maintains an anonymous yet enforceable hierarchy , and that system has lead to communists and pedophiles becoming many of the most influential people on the site. They don't do anything of consequence on reddit, other than try and push their insanity to the front page so that regular people will stumble into it and potentially be corrupted. r/antiwork is one of their babies. Hence, this probably wasn't printed by communists, but by people manipulated by communists.

What statements do you disagree with?

In the manifesto shown? Nothing at all until the very end, "learn more: reddit.com/r/antiwork"

"Antiwork" is another one of those things like "defund the police". "Defund the police" genuinely meant "abolish the police" and was advocated for by communists, but the phrase was coopted to mean something much more reasonable because abolishing the police is nonsense and nobody likes communists. "Antiwork" was communists talking about how they want to end the current conception of "work" entirely, but got coopted to mean something much more reasonable because "ending work" is stupid nonsense and nobody likes communists.

Like, for comparison.
Printed Manifesto: You have a right to discuss your wages... you should demand a raise if you're being paid less or find a new employer... poverty wages exist because people are willing to work for them. All of that is about improving the lot of workers within the current system.
r/antiwork: " A subreddit for those who want to end work ." " We're against jobs as they are structured under capitalism and the state: Against exploitative economic relations, against hierarchical social relations at the workplace. "

The receipt is talking like most of you here would, I'm sure most of you would advocate for employees receiving fair and equal compensation, which is a reasonable stance to take.
r/antiwork was set up by seanchaidh-style communists, who protest the existence of "employees" and "employers" as concepts.
That's the disconnect here.

Ah yes the lazy communists who do nothing... Other than manipulate people into pushing communist ideology. But nobody like that ideology... Much logic good job. Also something something pedophiles.

Are you sure you didn't just misunderstand both of those statements? 'Cos you don't have a good track record with actually understanding what your opponents stand for.

Or his own side for that matter.

With regards to antiwork, I directly quoted the r/antiwork FAQs. You do not have to take my word for it.

With regards to wanting to abolish the police, I defer to all the people here who have explicitly said they would do so. That was possibly the single funniest argument victory I ever had here, when lildevils was like "nobody wants to actually abolish the police", and all these dummies volunteered themselves as examples, and I never had to say another word.

Honestly, I think I am the only person here who understand what my opponents stand for. You all can't even figure out what your "allies" stand for. You, Silvanus, personally, are decidedly closer to me philosophically than you are to the communists here, if you would think for a second about what people actually stand for.
