Theory meets practice
He was right. Tipping culture is horrible and should go away.
In drag's country, we listened to Trotsky. Nobody tips. And it's great. We have a living minimum wage and waiters actually get paid it.
Should get a regular salary

The operative word in that statement is should, Leon
- Yeah, I want waitstaff to be paid a living wage.
  
  Until that happens tipping is a necessary evil.
  
  Or maybe tipping is enabling the practice?
  
  The whole cart and horse thing
- "Does that mean you're going to harass the owners to pay them a living wage, Leon? Maybe hand them some literature, mount some social pressure or a boycott? Change the laws? Give the owners a pile of 'tip' money from you, to give to the workers as proper wages? Something?"
  
  "No. I like the owners. They sell me milkshakes."
  
  Give the owners a pile of ‘tip’ money from you, to give to the workers as proper wages?
  
  I think that last one might not be all that effective
If a better metaphor for communists on the internet exists, I haven't heard it. This is hard to beat.
- A lot of "Internet communists" don't much care for Trotsky either.
- "You have a good point, but you aren't doing what you think you're doing"
- Disco Elysium house of cards communist moment is my personal fave.
  
  Real life tho this is it
C'mon, Trotsky, don't be a dick

Literally impossible
Fuck Trotsky, all the homies hate Trotsky.
He do be right.
