i'm gonna pretend i didn't see that

Imagine thinking getting paid for doing work is slavery.

Wage slavery

That's just another propaganda "buzz word' for "getting paid to do work". Do you have any of your own original ideas? Or are you just used to parroting buzz words you hear on communist Reddit threads?

Tell me why the means of production shouldn't be collectively owned by the proletariat

I literally just told you in my last comment to stop letting people tell you what to think and to have your own, original ideas. If you want to know why people don't support communism, then you need to do your own research on the critiques of communism or the benefits of the ideas opposed to communism. Do. Your. Own. Work.

I did that. All the critiques of communism had nothing to do with my political beliefs

No you absolutely did not. 100% a lie.

Give me a critique of communism then

Dude....Do. Your. Own. Thinking. And. Research. Are you still not listening to me? I've already done the work, now it's your turn to do the reading and the listening.

Its ideal is never achieved and always devolves into authoritarian tyranny. Period.

No one cares

Why do you have to work for a living? The only things you should do for a living are eat and breathe

Oh yeah? Why? How?

You shouldn't have to work 40hrs a week to survive

That’s a child’s view of how the world works. Cavemen had to work all day to eat. How ridiculous a statement. You think life requires no effort.

There is no place in the entire universe where living creatures don't work to survive. Animals work to survive, plants work to survive, BACTERIA work to survive. My goodness, step outside of your Communist ideological bubble for even a day and stop chugging the propaganda like you're a frat boy at a college party.
