This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

wealthy people employ an "ayi" to do house work or in some cases a "baomu" to be a nanny.

This is not popular for the money conscience middle class. they will hire a cleaner maybe a few days a month if they feel they can't keep up, but a baomu is more for the upper classes and yeh, can be gross just like you can imagine.

I am foreign worker. and a single guy who travels a lot. so many times in my life I hired an ayi to come to my apartment and do cleaning maybe twice a week.

my last full time ayi, could barely read, her daughter had just left university and was working as a paralegal.... would she retire because her daughter could afford to take care of her ? no way in he'll, the culture doesn't allow that until she's too old to work.
