The “clever” part is describing the effects of capitalism, that a business owner profits off the value of the workers’ labour without working themselves, but re-encodes it to instead be about how the workers’ hard work and wages are being taken and “redistributed” to someone who didn’t earn them.
This “the lazy person gets your hard work” framing is one of the most popular ways Americans are scared away from socialism or communism, so by turning the situation upside down here it’s attaching the same framing to capitalism instead. And then arguing for a united workforce to protect “capitalism” from the dangers of “communism”
Roger that. Thank you for the more experienced explanation that may enlighten the case from another angle.
These are frequent employment challenges in Europe and Russia/Asia I witnessed enough to believe someone tries fighting for their rights and effort to be financially compensated. I’ll reconsider it.
No it’s bait for someone trying to get a rise out of conservatives or trying to trick them into agreeing capitalist behaviour is bad, if only we call it communism.

Let’s hope it’s indeed “trolling” and not a call for help…
May I ask what’s not smart about it? The person seems to just try finding a way of out miserable financial state the best they can.

It’s clever bait.
A bait for what? For a suggestion someone searches for for their next step?
