  • This entire tipping thing is terrible - including for dashers themselves.

    It means dashers income heavily relies on strangers being kind enough to leave some extra.

    It means customers are gonna feel bad for not paying more than their order amount (and they probably will pay the tip)

    It means company can employ slave labor for extremely low pay and still have people willing to do this.

    Tipping benefits only one party - the companies. We need to stop it.

    Communism isn’t inherently authoritarian, it holds no relation to authoritarianism or democracy, just like capitalism, and can exist within any political formation. Conflating communism with authoritarianism and capitalism with democracy will likely result in completely justified dictionary arguments, as this misconception is actually very important ideologically.

    Associating communism with things like USSR or, in an even more cursed way, China and claiming communism is authoritarian is actively harmful, especially considering that neither of them ever had communism to begin with - they had socialism and claimed to be directed towards communism some time in the future.

    Such shortcuts, like communism=authoritarianism=evil prevent you from actually familiarizing yourself with the concepts and puts you in a position when you oppose a strawman.
