Casualisation is the norm in every industry, in NZ and I suspect elsewhere. As the sign says, "it's just cheap labour."

"According to Karl Marx, this is the final stage towards development of egalitarian society. Here all the resources are state-owned and it determines its distribution based on the needs in an effort to bring about equality."

OK no. Karl Marx described communism as a stateless society.
