I worked twelve hours per day turning just one screw in iPhones

Yeah because the dream utopia is being stuffed in a dorm with a bunch of assholes I work with and absolutely despise. I'll keep my apartment and car thank you.

well, at least it's so safe workers can't even kill themselves

People go $200k to get stuffed into dorms for four years for a nominal education at best…literally what's the difference? Don't you want to get drunk with your fellow comrades/co workers and get into shenanigans at the dorms while avoiding the commute? How are you going to build camaraderie with your fellow workers and engage in collective action for better conditions of you consider them assholes who you want to avoid?

You commies are antisocial weirdos.

Lol.

That's literally reducing people's lifeworld to the workworld.

Literally slave labor?

There a difference between going to school and getting shitfaced, and going to work. I don't know if you're some NEET fuck or pencil pusher but I've only ever done factory work. In most of these places people aren't happy to be their and in some cases they even look depressed. Also theres the smell, whether it's plastic, oil or chemicals, once you smell it you know you're in it for 8, 10 hrs. I wouldn't want to have to smell it constantly. Factories are their own special kind of hell and i wouldn't want to live near or in it. I've lived in open dorms before and theres a lack of privacy. And what if I am anti social?

The ideology it takes to say this while discussing an Apple factory in China is mind boggling.

Gets even worse, some of these factory complexes are run like cities and encourage workers to get married and have children within the complex. There are children who are born, raised, and then work in fucking factories.

No. No, I simply can't be doing with this right now.

how much do you think they paid him for this? are we even sure he is a real iphone worker?

Jesus, the wedding footage even looked like an assembly line.

This is what AnCapistan would look like.

They're growing workers, like crops.

Who wants to bet that the schools are full of indoctrination to get those kids straight on the assembly lines as soon as it's legal?

Yep. Not just an Apple corporation thing either! Pretty much almost all electronics are made nearly entirely in, or have a majority of parts made in China, and each of those parts, at some point, passes through a factory like this one.
And how do they get materials for these parts? Slavery! Both kids and adults work in mines under armed guards mining the rare earth minerals that go into the parts that are made in these factories! Isn't capitalism great! :^)

Honestly, between the mines and the factories I wonder how many lost souls made my phone. What exactly IS the dead-human-to-phone ratio? I wish I knew.

Remember, China is Communist

This is the future the Maoists chose.

Gosh darn it. Wtf I hate communism now.

I don't want to but ackshually here, but in China, at least, this has a historical precedent that started under Mao.

Neighborhoods were organized as "work units", in fact, in the urban areas, all manner of social life was centered around these work units. Sort of like how living was arranged out in the communal farms in the villages.

Feels good to be a neet studying philosophy on the governments dime. I wish some day every worker can be as lazy as I am

Dont forget the start of the supply chain. Kongolese children killing each other so that war lords can mine and sell rare metals that are inside every phone

this "sweatshops are actually good" thing has to be in bad fauth or by people who never worked a single day in their entire life

Dota players are so insecure.

It's because it's easier to install onto computers.

China pays more then south america

Is this tied to currency or quality of life?

if its so great then move to shanghai and get to work.

Duh Jooz are responsible! Somehow

For real what's the deal with China. Officially the ruling party is communist, and they say China is in the "primary stages of socialism". Is it just really shitty market socialism or was China reformed back into capitalism?
And if China was actually reformed back into capitalism, does that mean we can create socialism with enough reform?
I'm not joking here, I just really don't get the situation with china

I had a Chinese teacher (on a work visa and she was around ~40) in highschool laugh whenever a student brought up communism, she said everyone pretends its communist but pretty much everyone knows by any definition its not. Was pretty interesting insight into the mind of a native citizen who wouldn't pass up an opportunity to talk about how great it was.

They never were communist. They were state capitalist after the revolution, and they reformed back to private capitalism after the planned economy had successfully started industrialization.
