==== Views on Service Workers ==== In contrast to the lies propagated by mentally ill 'leftists,' Infrared does not oppose service workers. Rather, it opposes the 'labor strategy' according to which the institutionalization of 'bullshit jobs'<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Bullshit-Jobs-Theory-David-Graeber/dp/150114331X</ref> can sufficiently represent the aspirations of general labor. According to Marxism, the aspirations of general labor is represented by the proletariat. Rather than be conducive to a movement of 'general labor,' the institutionalization of bullshit jobs, such as Starbucks baristas, amounts to craft-unionism which Marxism stands opposed to as an objectively reactionary force retarding the productive forces and the development of proletarian class consciousness. Infrared also regards it as opportunistic and self-serving that 'leftists' commit to 'organizing' graduate students, baristas, and Hollywood writers. Infrared regards this as opportunistic not because these groups are the most strategically important for the labor movement, but because they tend to reinforce 'leftist' discursive and cultural bubbles to the detriment of the aspirations of general labor. While Infrared rejects the view that service workers create capital on the shop floor, or are 'proletarians' in the context of the shop floor, Infrared does not oppose service workers. It rather believes that the interests of general labor and service workers in general must revolve around the destruction of 'bullshit jobs' all together. Infrared holds that this is accomplished by politicizing the demand for a shorter work-week, automation of the service industry, and reindustrialization. Infrared does not view this as hostility to those struggling to make a living working in the service industry. It rather regards the destruction of the service industry itself to be in the interests of both service workers and ''general labor'' as a whole. Infrared likewise does not view the 'organizing' of prostitutes to be in the interests of the majority of the victims of the sex trade. It rather regards the wholesale abolition of the sex industry as in the best interests of its victims.
