Are leftists even allowed to critique it? Or is leftism a religion that has such things baked into its dogma such that questioning it is blasphemy?

I mean, I point out how flawed the idea is, and I have people saying I want my logic implies I want to be a slaveholder or something.

Why do people like you treat leftism like it's the boogeyman? Relax, there's plenty of room for critiquing of minimum wage in leftist spaces-- I get the feeling you're just exaggerating just because your flawed points have been refuted in leftist spaces with counterpoints that you disagree with.

You're allowed to spout whatever opinions you want but even here in this thread, I don't see a single person telling you that your critique isn't allowed. Nobody implied that you want to be a slaveholder, someone just pointed out that your flawed reasoning is the same flawed reasoning that gave rise to slavery and child labor.

Again, no one here has told you that you aren't allowed to critique minimum wage-- you're making up a boogeyman to self-validate your false narrative. This website itself was created for "leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts” and you're here critiquing minimum wage without anyone telling you that's not allowed. Seriously, what are you even talking about?

Out of curiosity, have you ever worked 52 weeks in a row?
