Should get a regular salary
The operative word in that statement is should, Leon
-
"Does that mean you're going to harass the owners to pay them a living wage, Leon? Maybe hand them some literature, mount some social pressure or a boycott? Change the laws? Give the owners a pile of 'tip' money from you, to give to the workers as proper wages? Something?"
"No. I like the owners. They sell me milkshakes."

If a better metaphor for communists on the internet exists, I haven't heard it. This is hard to beat.

"You have a good point, but you aren't doing what you think you're doing"

Disco Elysium house of cards communist moment is my personal fave.
Real life tho this is it

A lot of "Internet communists" don't much care for Trotsky either.

He was right. Tipping culture is horrible and should go away.

Let’s make living wages a thing first

That's how you make it go away

Right sentiment, wrong solution.
You don't fix workers' problems by being a dick to them and making it hard for them to afford to live - you fix workers' problems by inflicting the pain on the decision makers - employers and legislators.

The mistake was to push an individual solution to a systemic problem. He should have tried to get mandatory tipping banned.
-
Only systemic changes can fix systemic problems.
Not enough people understand this, apparently even Trotsky

-
Theory meets practice
-
C'mon, Trotsky, don't be a dick
Literally impossible
-
Fuck Trotsky, all the homies hate Trotsky.
-
He do be right.

In drag's country, we listened to Trotsky. Nobody tips. And it's great. We have a living minimum wage and waiters actually get paid it.
