Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

So anyone who works for a corporation, meaning pretty much everyone?
Being like what "on purpose?" I'm simply applying your own words to reality.
This thread is exactly what i'm talking about...
We should be building guillotines together. Instead we wasted energy arguing and gatekeeping about which workers count as "working class", playing some kind of oppression olympics on who has the shittiest working conditions, or who has the purest socialist ideology...
"well this person has health benefits and 5 weeks vacation, NOT WORKING CLASS!!!"
"that person hasnt read the communist manifesto and works for a publicly traded corporation, NOT WORKING CLASS!!"
the irony is that the people who gatekeep the hardest about this shit are probably the ones suffering the most under our broken system. Yet they spend their energy alienating allies instead of including everyone
We cannot reasonably expect everyone to be an ally. Thetr is clearly 20-30% that will never be allies and must be treated as enemies or we'll end up with knives in our backs. This upsets a lot of people because it's a hard truth but we must move past it to have ant chance for progress.
20-30% will never be allies because the 0.001% has fooled you into wasting energy denouncing your fellow working class
(i probably fall into your strawman 20-30% that you think cannot be working class because i make more than minimum wage)
even though you dream about guillotining me when the glorious workers revolution happens in the future, i will fight for our cause today
You have completely misunderstood what I am saying.
I am not strawmanning any one or suggesting to strawman anyone. I fall not the same upper income bracket.
There are people all across the economic spectrum of working class who see others or themselves as not working class. Listen, state your case but do not waste time arguing with these people.
Remember who they are because when progress is being made they are the ones likely to sabotage.
