‘Do as we say’: Freedom Socialist Party skirts own $20 minimum wage demand

An ad posted by the Freedom Socialist Party of Seattle, Wash., in search of a web content manager has been making the rounds of social media recently, and it all comes down to the bottom line. The Freedom Socialist Party, which called for a $20 minimum wage and free medical care for all as part of its last presidential platform and has applauded the push for a $15 minimum wage in Seattle recently, is offering to pay $13 an hour for the part-time gig.

Reason contacted the party, which explained that the job is not a union job. And forget about benefits.
@ellencarmichael they won't comply until forced either.

@ellencarmichael AND they want people to come to an office with flexible scheduling, how else can that employee work elsewhere?

@ellencarmichael add to qualifications: graduate from Marxism-leninism courses and Gulag experience will be definately an asset….

@ellencarmichael nice… Proves one thing…. They were after political gain not "the people". 😡

.@ellencarmichael In 2012 they wanted a $20 minimum wage. So perhaps a convergence is in progress (if you'll pardon the pun).

@jamestaranto it's good to know that "people of color" is a thing folks are allowed to say again. This is news to me.
— Ellen L. Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) October 16, 2014
@ellencarmichael Wow, even the Freedom Socialist Party enjoys having the ability to negotiate a wage with a potential employee!

@ellencarmichael @jjauthor Someone who does this for $13/hr sells herself short. CSS, JavaScript, and PHP? Gimme a break. Not a $13/hr job.

@ellencarmichael @kreeger you aint going to get anything good in web design for $13 an hour anyways.

.@ellencarmichael @JonahNRO Notice how they don't spell "compensation"right- aka they're not serious about it.

That’s not the only error.
They also manage to put Freedom and Socialist into the same phrase .@ellencarmichael @jjauthor
