This concept only works if you act like you can only do so much, but commercial bakers can make hundreds to thousands of loaves of bread a day. So then the argument falls apart and becomes pointless. Say they make 100-200 dollars a day, that’s more than enough money to buy bread and food for the day. This isn’t even a good argument for labor because the straight text makes it sound like they want to keep all the bread they make, but if it’s more than one loaf than it would just be wasted.
If the concept is lost that wage earning to survive is not freedom, then yes this meme does not appear to communicate it well enough. The use of bread and baker would be an attempt to draw the connection, but then again it is also a meme using a picture of Felix the Cat.
The premise of Felix being read on theory is more an opening to engagement than a strict political art critique, imo.
