At least in my capitalist dystopia I'm not forced to share my bathroom and kitchen with Ivan next door, like Soviet college professors did.
If you think anything in the first world constitutes indentured servitude, I have some really bad news about how you decide what your job is in the USSR. Hint: you don't.
- yawpitch 2mo agoWell no, nowadays you don’t get a bathroom, you get a juice bottle on your “break” between sprints around a Bezosian Labyrinth. Also, bit of news for you, the USSR no longer exists, while the people who still see communism everywhere carry the highest debt load ever while their wages haven’t kept with with real inflation in generations. So yeah, it’s indentured service, only instead of scrip and the company store it’s an endless buffet of perpetually-more-enshittified subscriptions services in a home you’re only renting while driving a car you’ll never own.
