If you’re unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any work.
Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.
So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.
This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.
Was expecting classist bullshit, got the exact opposite
This is so ubelievably important and I hate that I have to keep re-explaining it to people.

Bust of King Ramesses II
This bust comes from a seated statue of Ramesses II. He is portrayed with a short wig held in place by a band with a uraeus, the royal cobra.
The king is depicted as a young man with a full face, jutting eyebrows, rather narrow eyes, and a calm smile. The corners of the lips are slightly raised. The king wears a wide necklace made of many strings of pearls. He is wearing a pleated garment with long, wide sleeves.
What remains of his left arm lies by his body while his right arm is folded across his chest gripping the scepter Heka, the symbol of sovereignty. The pharaoh’s wrist is adorned with a bracelet decorated with the Eye of Horus, the wadjet, symbol of good health and divine perfection. Some details of the statue, such as the pleated garment and the short wig, were fashionable at that time.
New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Ramesses II, ca. 1279-1213 BC. Black granite, from Tanis. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 37485
