Prior to the industrial revolution, labor was mostly agricultural, which meant hours varied based on the season, weather, daylight, and vibes. The rise of factories led to factory owner attempts to control their workers more. Better technology for mass-producing clocks meant factories had them and used them against workers, including having clocks that purposefully tracked time incorrectly in order to make workers work longer. it was just one more tool for capitalists to use to exploit labor. The concept of a “company clock” or being “on the clock” came from this. Prior to this, workers were paid for production, not time.
Historia Civilis has a great video on it. Which is a very strange outlier as there is nothing else remotely like this on the rest of the channel.
![[reposted meme i stole and did not make] concept of time](https://quokk.au/static/media/posts/b0/Es/b0Es4AQXXM9Urb2.png){kind=link}
This is a leftist meme?
Yes.
I can’t do image posts, and I’m not linking to r****t, but there are other examples out there of the meme.
What do leftists have against time? Also, why are you censoring “reddit”?
This is confusing to me too. Is it related to work hours? Perhaps labor done vs time used for labor?
(1) It’s exaggerated satire.
(2) Fuck R*ddit
Satire of what exactly?
Ourselves.
I’m not going to lie, I feel like I am being trolled here. Every answer I get is nonsensical.
Many leftists (me included) want to abolish many things, borders, the state, the police, capitalism, the army, prisons etc.
This is satire on that. “Abolish time”.
The short answer is: the industrial revolution.
