It would be nice if Adam Smith's invisible hand would pick up around here now and again.
Smith in shambles after Marx clowned on him too hard, now no more supernatural hand to do my laundry smh
It would if it could pick up some money while it was at it
stares sadly at dishes needing to be put away so can clean dirty ones and piles of laundry 😭
Many men say they'll die for their family.
Few say they'll do the dishes for their family.
Cowards! Anybody can die
For their family?
Dishwasher? Fucking bourgeoisie and their fancy toys. No dishes are washed in this home without labour!
You fool, marx clearly explained that the dishwasher, as well as the potable water and cleaning product, is imbued with the fossilised human labour power mobilised during its production. This fossil labour power is then passed on to the crockery (where it joins the labour power already embodied there during production of said implements).
This fundamental misunderstanding of marx shall lead to nothing but revisionism and opportunism.
As long as you own the means of dishwashing, it's okay?
Same, but I hate it and am considering buying a dishwasher.
oh yeah well who does the dishes after the revolution?
The revolution that does DISHES gets my support
I remember when I visited the annual LO fair (https://fete.lutte-ouvriere.org/) years ago, I attended a conference or two, met some fellows and did dishes at the raclette stand. I didn't know what communism was but doing some dishes felt right
Gottem
surprisingly what helped this a lot was moving to a place with a narrower dishwasher. it fills up basically on the dot every 2 days, you run it, you spend maybe 5 mins putting the stuff back because it's not so much
That works well until doing lots of cooking or baking and suddenly have like 3 loads to do
Sisyphus but it's the laundy
Aah yes, the mechanical dishwasher
