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?

@OrwellForks @ellencarmichael and it's part time so they don't have to provide health insurance

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

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

@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
