Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

The point is that those jobs should not be paid badly

It's not about creating a new word to distinguish it, it's about eliminating the distinction

Right, cause being a business owner means they have unlimited money for wages. The distinction is meaningful therefore it will always exist.

You should not be running a business if you cannot pay your workers.

Not all jobs SHOULD pay the same. certain jobs require little to no thought, or engagement. It literally takes "NO SKILL" to do. that doesn't mean you can't work hard at doing it. Take cleaning for example. cleaning takes no skill. take something that's dirty, and make it clean. it doesn't take any skill to run a mop. there's zero reason that job should pay the same as someone who went through some kind of training, be it trade school, college, classes, etc, to do. If you homogenize what everyone makes, there is no drive to improve yourself.
