Average capitalism enjoyer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe evidence points towards the pyramids being built by paid workers, and I think some even got to be buried in their own smaller pyramids

gets rewarded with more work for working so hard

Okay hate on capitalism, fair enough

But equating it to literal slavery like we've had in the past (and still have in some parts of the world) seems problematic to me

Interestingly, I think the current consensus is that the workers who built the pyramids were not slaves, but rather ‘volunteers’ or ‘citizens’ who worked during the farming off-season. The ancient Egyptians didn’t use coins at this point, but the workers seem to have been housed in a kind of workers settlement near the site and paid in beer, bread, and grain.

Capitalism can suck my famous balls however

I'm somewhere between the whipper and the whipee.

Average feudalist enjoyer

What's going on with the rope on the front of the stone block? It looks like it's going to the taskmaster's hand, but he's standing behind the block, so that makes no sense...

Someone do something about political memes on the general meme communities please

The communist version of this meme has someone with a whip and sword standing behind them and telling them to work for the benefit of the people or die

this is racist against black people

Not everyone in capitalism is a winner, and that's ok. The big advantage is that the losers are usually offered the opportunity to work and make a living.

The alternative is crossing your fingers and hoping the government (or whatever body is responsible for distributing pay) gives you what you need. If they don't, tough luck, there's nothing you can do about it.
