When communism and vaporwave intersect. It combines the aesthetic of 90s electronic art and music with the aesthetic of communism and/or Marxism.

Audio-related laborwave mixes vaporwave music with distorted audio from speeches by communist leaders. Visual laborwave looks just like traditional vaporwave, but with communist elements: like pictures of said communist leaders with dank labor-related captions.

Possibly counts as a part of both anarcho-communism and surreal memes. It remains unclear to what extent it's all ironic.

laborwave: it is right to rebel.

Day Labor Diego

Day Labor Diego or DLD is a term for the illegal aliens who hang out by a corner somewhere to be picked up by contractors looking for cheep labor. DLD's usually huddle in packs.

I got a contract to build a wall on Main street. If I hire some Day Labor Diego, I can save money on labor and pocket the difference.

Those DLD's work cheep.

MANual labor

Real old-school guy work, like fixing a car, when cars had carburetors, chopping down a tree, digging a hole to bury shit, welding shit together, banging on things until they worked again.

Dude, MAN up. Don't let some other guy do your MANual labor. Get the wrench and hammer out, kick it a few times and then give 'er a whirl.
