I am a socialist at heart and truely believe in 'from each according to their abilities to each according to their need'. I am Canadian and have had shit jobs that I had to keep much longer than I wanted to because I used to be a have not. After reading a lot of these posts I am so thankful for my countries labour laws. I have read about people having to work jobs that pay minimum wage with no benefits, working 12 hrs shifts with no breaks, getting fired over utter nonsense. I truly believe that the issue is directly related to living in a capitalist economy and democratic political system. How anyone could think that those two things fit well together is either dillusional or already rich. It allows for the rich to make the rules by lobbying and buying politicians. I have no clue how to effect change in the world besides living my life in a communal manner and sharing what I have with those that don't have as much. I know this post isn't inspirational or educational but really wish I could do something more to help all of you get out of these absolute shit situations. If anyone has any ideas on what I could do to help or if you think the same as me in regards to the issue being either economic or political please speak up. Thanks for reading my rant.
