American right libertarians are either republicans in denial, people with suspiciously strong opinions on the age of consent, or tech bro billionaires and their simps. They’ll gladly tongue fuck the boot on their neck as long as it means someone else is getting stepped on more
I love how this question ignores the consequences of not working in the current system, and that modern forms of forced labor are both common and do exist.
And inb4 you reply: no, I don’t support communism but your question made me chuckle.
The mother of a friend of mine was homeless in the GDR. She got a flat, she got education, she got work, she got a nice family, she had healthcare, they bought a house. My friend is much worse off now.
Ah, yeah, communism equals gulag bc there are no other possible ways of doing communism. And good thing you can be poor and homeless now, sounds like a grand ol’ time! Just ignore the fact that some folks do pretty crime bc they’d rather spend time in jail for a guaranteed meal and shelter, but w/e, at least it’s not Disney fairytale communism.
I want to own the value I produce. Currently I sell my time to an owner. The value I produce through my work is sold by the owner. Any excess after costs goes to the owner. The owner did not work to produce the value.
Why should owners be supported by the excess value produced by workers?
If there genuinely, no matter what, is no way to get someone to work on something without threatening them with starving to death if they don’t do it, please ask yourself this: Is that work necessary? Is that work worth it?

Which is funny because No Step on Snek is more anti-authoritarian than right. It just has a bit of a right-leaning connotation
Edit: both sides think the other is the authoritarian one.
Authoritarian != policy you don’t like

No Step on Snek has been co-opted by right-wing authoritarians.
And yet throwaway is a racist and aligns well with nationalists:
They would be cheered for with that sentence in Nazi bars.
Well yeah. The left is associated with communism, which is basically “everyone is a slave to the state”. Leftists are inherently authoritarians.
That’s not really what communism is.
Neither left nor right is inherently authoritarian. Both contain authoritarian and libertarian ideologies.
Let’s take a second. How exactly would communism work? What if someone didn’t want to work?

You can go beg and be homeless in the current system. In Communism, you get sent to gulag.

Well, if a farmer doesn’t farm, we all starve.
Sone work must be done.
Why would a farmer not want to farm?
For the same reason any worker wouldn’t want to work
Give me a specific reason, and we can talk about it. I can’t really reply much to such a generic statement.
