Do you like being called a "worker"? (generations, school, manifesto)

I am a gardener, I maintain about 25 yards. My clients say they have never seen a worker like me. I am proud of being a hard worker.

I always had issue with the term 'working class' as a kid.

just sounds so wrong, I mean, we all work don't we?

why is a plumber working class but a doctor isn't - and how about a nurse, teacher, policeman, driver, business man - what label do they get?

Classism - pure and simple.

Aren't most of the bees in a colony workers?

The worker bees are also all female - I wonder if they are compensated the same as the male drones.

Concerning the hive - the bees did all build it.

The Soviet Union was supposedly a "worker's paradise".

Sounds like a socialist term to me.

So now people are considered to be communists for being "workers?" Guess that means the middle class is nothing but a communist class because that is a very hard worker class.

It doesn't bother me.

I said socialist - not communist.

Learn the difference, read Marx and Engels.

$10 says you don't know the difference between a Socialist and a Communist.
