An even more communist /socialist/ Lefty value is the abolition of capitalism and the removal of a need for money because everybody does what they are happiest doing for the benefit of the community that they choose to be a part of. Me being an authoritarian communist will of course Advocate that we cast out or eliminate those that choose to do nothing to benefit the community that they choose to be a part of because even in the society that does not have capital or money useless m************ are not wanted.

Those disposable Vapes have a 4 to 800 micro ampere rechargeable lithium battery and all of the electronics for recharging it.
The fact that they are designed to be disposable should be criminal.
I've been collecting them when people toss them out at work (I'm the janitor) and using them to replace the old/dead batteries in my old Bluetooth headsets and speakers.

As a former IT person that ended up becoming a professional janitor (and consequently ending up with better pay, benefits, hours, pension, and work life balance) I find amusement in seeing what is "normal" or " average" to a lot of the people that post here.

Stop being so logical and reasonable; you're ruining the arguments.

You are correct. Forgive me for using the less historically learned interpretation of leftist

Haha. No. I'm literally a jack booted thug of an Authoritarian Communist that takes the term Tanky as a compliment; I would be a horrible salesman.

If no one person, or very small group of people, got to take all of the surplus out of the means of production and it was instead equally distributed amongst those that did the actual work then it is unlikely that anyone would starve; it is when someone, or a very small group of people, are allowed to amass stockpiles of surplus beyond what they need for a comfortable survival that they have the means and the implied permission to then use that excess as leverage in the exploitation of others to obtain even more wealth.

The left is always started with the abolition of capitalism. Go read some Karl Marx.

Unfortunately most of the local papers in Canada were purchased by a couple of extremely rich old white guys and their families and basically turned into a giant bundle of ads and reprints of content from other newspapers that they own; and most of it is pop culture, entertainment, and oh look what the rich people are buying now fluff pieces.

To be honest they would be better off getting their news by having conversations while waiting for their coffee at Tim Hortons then getting it from social media; at least in the physical world the people that they talk to have to consider the possibility that they might get punched in the throat for saying something controversial for the sake of saying something controversial.

Then I guess I'm really good at prostalitizing the use of that extension to my immediate circle of friends; I rarely encounter anybody on Facebook that doesn't use it, or at least doesn't start using it shortly after meeting me.

The premise that profit is never deserved is not weird communist s***, it's absolutely normal communist s***; the premise that profit is never deserved would be weird capitalist s***.

Being anti-capitalist is where the Left begins. Even the New Democratic Party are capitalist appeasers through their support of unions that only need to exist within the context of a Capitalist societal framework. There is no actual Leftist party in Canada; and please don't say the Canadian Communist Party because those people are an absolute f****** joke that consists of the children of rich people rebelling against their parents and poor people with mental health issues that attend their meetings because they pay for the drinks and food.

All our political parties still cater to Capitalism, so although two of them lean socially left they are at best Neo-Liberals.

Most of the people I know use the Facebook Purity Chrome extension that already removes all of the crap the algorithm tries to spew at us, and if we want to share some news (that is probably behind a paywall half the time anyway) we simply cut and paste the text that we found to be interesting and then add our own commentary below it. You don't need to be able to share links to news to share news , you just share the news and your take on it and if people you know want to know more they can Google it.
