Anti-capitalist. Peacemonger. Voting will not save us. Solidly against the duopoly, whose only aspiration is to quash dreams & accumulate piles of cash
Mike Johnson: “If we lose the midterms, the Democrats will go after the president’s family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, and the rest of you who have committed crimes.”
Clara Mattei brilliantly debunks a century of capitalist propaganda by explaining how capitalism is unnatural, has existed for only 0.1% of human history, took control of the world through violence, and is maintained by coercion and the superficial facade of liberal democracy.
Call me whatever you want, but I believe the goal of a society should be to secure the happiness and highest quality of life possible for its citizens and not to endlessly generate capital for the ownership class at the expense of everyone else.
“We can’t raise the minimum wage, because then the price of everything will go up.”
Bro, they didn’t raise the minimum wage. The price of everything still skyrocketed.
The minimum wage is meant to be the lowest wage you can live on and afford housing. For everyone saying “it's not meant to be that,” yes, it is.
That's why it's called the minimum wage.
Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?
I would much rather live in a society where everyone has healthcare, housing, and food than a society where one trillionaire now owns more wealth than half the country.
I will never understand how so many of y'all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money YOU PAY IN TAXES to create a social safety net that benefits YOU.
Logros del capitalismo: crear un trillonario.
Logros del socialismo chino: sacar a 850 millones de personas de la pobreza.
No tengo nada más que decir.
Billionaires do not create wealth. Workers create wealth. Billionaires capture it.
They steal workers wealth and convince people that they've worked hard for the billions they've stolen from the workers.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?
When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
Musk, worth $470 billion, plans to become a trillionaire by replacing workers with robots.
Bezos, worth $256 billion, plans to replace 600,000 jobs with robots.
Zuckerberg, worth $216 billion, laid off 17,000 workers.
Billionaires aren't job creators.
They're job destroyers.
