Workfare slave labor is one more fascist weapon in the bosses' arsenal to prepare us for a war to save their profit system. To succeed in this worldwide competition, the US bosses must squeeze the working class to the wall. To secure maximum profits and beat off all competitors, the bosses must inevitably drag down the workers' standard of living, depressing wages and eliminating benefits any way they can. Under capitalism, all workers are wage slaves. We are all just a paycheck or two away from being homeless.
Capitalism is based on wage slavery.
We workers create all value but the bosses steal most of it in the form of profits. Only communism can accomplish that. Bosses welfare cuts drive down all workers wages The bosses are creating an army of unemployed starving workers who will be desperate to work at any wage. There are hundreds who would work for me at that wage. The bosses are creating four new divisions in their army of unemployed to use as a club to drive down the wages for the whole working class.
