"I did essential labor that used to pay the equivalent of no less than $12 an hour 50 years ago, and we're even more productive now that we have to do some customers' shopping for them thanks to in-store and curbside pickup. It should pay at least $12/hour now, more depending on where you live. Nobody that works 40 hours a week should be under the poverty line."
Not exactly snappy enough for a meme, but wanting a living wage doesn't make you a communist. It just means you want to be paid as well as your parents' and grandparents' generations back in the 1950-1980 period, before Reaganomics and "shareholder capitalism" came to dominate American economic thought.
